Remove C virtiofsd
We deprecated the C virtiofsd in commit 34deee7b6a1418f3d62a
in v7.0 in favour of the Rust implementation at
https://gitlab.com/virtio-fs/virtiofsd
since then, the Rust version has had more development and
has held up well. It's time to say goodbye to the C version
that got us going.
