util: Remove check_os_katmai_support.

check_os_katmai_support checks that the operating system running on a
SSE-capable processor supports SSE. This is necessary for unpatched
2.2.x and earlier kernels. 2.4.x and later kernels support SSE.

check_os_katmai_support will disable SSE capabilities for 32-bit x86
operating systems for which there is no code path. Currently, this
function handles Linux, Windows, and several BSDs. Mac OS, Cygwin, and
Solaris are several operating systems with no code paths.

Rather than add code for the unhandled operating systems, remove this
function altogether. This will fix SSE detection on all recent 32-bit
x86 operating systems. This completely breaks functionality on unpatched
2.2.x and earlier kernels, although there are likely no Gallium3D users
on such operating systems.
