netcf: remove recipe

It isn't maintained anymore and requires workarounds when gnulib is
updated.

It was only used by libvirt and with the upstream [1] and meta-virt
changes to not require it anymore, this can be dropped.

-Subject: [PATCH] netcf: fix bootstrap with newer gnulib/automake
-
-Upstream netcf is old enough that bootstrap/autoreconf now trips over:
-- gnulib-tool.py wrapper expectations in newer gnulib
-- stricter automake handling of AM_CFLAGS += from generated gnulib.mk
-- subdir source warnings
-- deprecated INCLUDES usage
