Remove support for the MNG file format and the bundled libmng
The MNG file format is generally abandoned, and libmng has been unmaintained for several years. The MNG plugin and bundled libmng has been moved to the qtimageformats project on Gerrit. Task-number: QTBUG-21869 Change-Id: I946432347014ffde2b72307a5f8b166ca5553602 Reviewed-by: Lars Knoll <lars.knoll@nokia.com> Reviewed-by: Friedemann Kleint <Friedemann.Kleint@nokia.com>

-Standard Windows DLL
-====================
-
-The DLL provided in the BCB/win32dll directory is meant as the sole candidate
-for distributions, based on libmng.dll, that install the DLL into the public
-Windows system-directory. The outline herein defines the requirements to
-which such a distribution must comply. If you cannot comply with these
-requirements please install the dll in the same directory as your application
-and NOT in the Windows system-directory!!!
-
-
-1) Only the DLL already assembled in the libmng distribution may be used for
- other distributions!
-
-2) Only stable public releases are eligible for distribution! A public release
- is one where the y-value of the x.y.z version-code is an even number.
- Eg. 1.0.0, 1.2.1, 2.4.7, etc.
-
-3) The installation program MUST store the DLL in the Windows system-directory!
- Eg. C:\WinNT\System32, C:\Windows98\System
- (Note: InstallShield users can use the <SYSDIR> variable)
-
-3) The installation program MUST flag the file as a shared library!
-
-4) The installation program MUST NOT install the DLL if a newer version
- already exists in the Windows system-directory! The standard DLL provided
- contains the Windows-default version-numbering system. PLEASE USE IT!!
- DO NOT rely on the date or size of the files.
-
-5) An uninstall procedure MAY NOT remove the DLL if other applications are
- still linked to it! Proper handling as a shared library is imperitive.
-
-6) TEST IT, TEST IT, TEST IT!!! (I just can't stress this enough)
- If you don't have enough time, let someone else test it BEFORE you
- distribute!
-
-
-The penalty for violating these rules is inclusion of your name in the list
-of endangered but useless species (just below the GIF entry!), and on my
-blacklist. YOU HAVE BEEN FOREWARNED!
