[Mesa-dev] Drop scons for 20.1?

[Jason Ekstrand]

+Jose & Brian

I'm not personally opposed but I also can't remember the last time I had to 
fix the scons build. I think it's been years. Maybe that's because I don't 
work on GL anymore? In any case, I don't know that it's really costing us 
that much given that basically none of the drivers actually build with it. 
But fat meh, I guess.
