[$] (Re)moving outdated Python tools and scripts

At the end of September, Victor Stinner reportedon a security bugfix he had been working on for a script from the CPythonTools/scripts directory. As part of that work, he realizedthat there were 74 scripts in that directory that were potentiallyoutdated, unused, unmaintained, trivial, buggy, or some combination of allof those. It is not uncommon for projects to have code that accretes in overlookedcorners of the source tree, but it makes sense to periodically take a lookto see if changes are needed. Stinner seems to have kicked that off for Python with his message.
