[systemd-devel] Drop systemd-ui

[Michael Biebl]

When I made the final ConsoleKit release, I added a NEWS entry, saying
that this software was discontinued and pointing to the replacements.

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ConsoleKit/commit/?id=af75e100dc4d4fac2e1633aa134e40e390d38918

We could do something similar for systemd-ui. That said, I think there
is value in simply keeping the repo around.
