[PROPOSAL] Delete pantsbuild/cheeseshop

[John Sirois]

I propose deletion of the pantsbuild/cheeseshop repo [1].

If I hear no negative feedback by Thursday May 19th, or I get resounding positive feedback from core contributors sooner, I'll proceed to delete the repo.

tl;dr:

===

The pantsbuild cheeseshop [1], which houses pre-built bdists for pants python dependencies with native code has not been modified since July of 2015.

More to the point, the current pants codebase has at least 1 native code-using bdist with no representative in the cheeseshop:

$ cat build-support/pants_dev_deps.venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pywatchman-1.3.0.dist-info/WHEEL 

Wheel-Version: 1.0

Generator: bdist_wheel (0.24.0)

Root-Is-Purelib: false

Tag: cp27-none-linux_x86_64

This is pretty solid evidence that no-one is actually using the cheeseshop repo any longer.

+1. We had a reference to it in our build but we weren't using it (and I removed it)
