Drop obsolete scripts

[dalg24]

More cleanup, getting rid of makefile-based scripts

A couple scripts were to configure the AWS container which we have not used in 5y.
The other is supposed to be for updating the makefiles that we already removed.

cm_generate_makefile and generate_makefile invoke CMake in fact.

@lucbv do you want to preserve these scripts?

[lucbv]

@ndellingwood can you have a look at this?

[lucbv]

@dalg24 your title says you are dropping obsolete scripts, can you mention somewhere on this PR what the replacement for these are? That would make the review a lot easier

Withdrew the Kernels part and updated the description

Then sure no problem from my side

Yes, I never renamed the scripts to reflect they now internally use cmake, the naming is a carry-over from pre-cmake build system support (I think 3.0) and their usage in Jenkins builds

From a glance, the scripts modified in this PR should still be functional and I would vote against their removal without some replacement directly calling cmake. In terms of the misleading naming of the {cm_}generate_makefile scripts, and their location in the resp. repos, I am overdue to do the following and will take care of this:

• Rename and update
• Move the scripts from the base directory to the scripts directory
• Update nightly jobs accordingly that still use the scripts

@dalg24 @lucbv let me know if you'd prefer to have the scripts in the PR updated after rename+reorg of generate_makefile etc. (fast and easy update), or if the preference is to have these scripts updated/replaced that directly call cmake (a bit more work)
