Remove lib-src/rcs-checkin

This script isn't used by Emacs, and I can't imagine anyone else is
using it any more either...  From the commentary:
"This script is intended to be used to convert files with an
old-Emacs-style version history for use with VC (the Emacs 19
version-control interface), which likes to use RCS as its back end."

* lib-src/rcs-checkin: Remove file.
* lib-src/Makefile.in (INSTALLABLE_SCRIPTS, STAMP_INST_SCRIPTS):
Remove rcs-checkin.
(stamp-rcs-checkin): Remove.

* INSTALL, make-dist: Remove rcs-checkin.

* admin/quick-install-emacs (PUBLIC_LIBSRC_SCRIPTS): Remove rcs-checkin.

* doc/man/rcs-checkin.1: Remove.

-.TH rcs-checkin 1
-.SH NAME
-rcs-checkin \- check files into RCS
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B rcs-checkin
-.RI [ FILE .\|.\|.]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B rcs-checkin
-is a helper script for checking files into RCS.  This program is
-distributed with
-.BR "GNU Emacs" .
-
-This program converts files with an old
-.BR Emacs -style
-version history for use with the
-.B "Emacs 19"
-version control interface
-.BR VC ,
-which likes to use RCS as its back end.
-
-For each file to be processed, the script looks for
-.B Emacs
-version files related to it. These files are checked in as deltas,
-oldest first, so that the contents of the file itself becomes the
-latest revision in the master.
-
-The first line of each file is used as its description.  The file
-itself is not deleted, as under
-.B VC
-with
-.B vc-keep-workfiles
-at its default of
-.BR t ,
-but all the version files are.
-
-If an argument file is already version-controlled under RCS, any
-version files are added to the list of deltas and deleted, and then
-the workfile is checked in again as the latest version.  This is
-probably not quite what was wanted, and is the main reason VC doesn't
-simply call this to do checkins.
-
-In order to make it easier to use
-.BR "rcs-checkin *" ,
-files which are detectably either RCS masters (with names ending in
-.BR ,v )
-or Emacs version files (with names containing
-.BR ~ )
-are ignored.
-.
-.PP
-.SH OPTIONS
-The program accepts no options.
-.
-.SH SEE ALSO
-The Emacs version control interface is documented in the GNU Emacs manual,
-which  you  can  read  using
-.BR Info ,
-either from Emacs or as a standalone program.
-.
-.SH AUTHORS
-.I rcs-checkin
-was originally written by Paul Eggert.  It was revised for use with
-.B "GNU Emacs"
-.B VC
-by Eric S. Raymond.
