Remove some admin/notes files

* admin/notes/lel-TODO: Remove.  This has not turned out to be a
useful way to get things documented.

* admin/notes/exit-value, admin/notes/iftc: Remove.
These don't seem to have any particular relationship to Emacs development.

-The exit value of a program returning to the shell on unixoid systems
-is typically 0 for success, and non-0 (such as 1) for failure. This is
-not always the case on other systems.
-
-From the point of view of the program stdlib.h provides macros
-`EXIT_SUCCESS' and `EXIT_FAILURE' that should DTRT.  N.B. The
-numerical values of these macros DO NOT need to fulfill the exit value
-requirements outlined in the first paragraph!  That is the job of the
-`exit' function.  Thus, this kind of construct shows misunderstanding:
-
-   #ifdef WEIRD_OS
-      exit (1);
-   #else
-      exit (0);
-   #endif
-
-Values aside from EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE are tricky, but can be
-used to indicate finer gradations of failure.  If this is the only
-information available to the caller, clamping such values to
-EXIT_FAILURE loses information.  If there are other ways to indicate
-the problem to the caller (such as a message to stderr) it may be ok
-to clamp.  In all cases, it is the relationship between the program
-and its caller that must be examined.

-Iso-Functional Type Contour
-
-
-This is a term coined to describe "column int->float" change approach, and can
-be used whenever low-level types need to change (hopefully not often!) but the
-meanings of the values (whose type has changed) do not.
-
-The premise is that changing a low-level type potentially means lots of code
-needs to be changed as well, and the question is how to do this incrementally,
-which is the preferred way to change things.
-
-Say LOW and HIGH are C functions:
-
-  int LOW (void) { return 1; }
-  void HIGH (void) { int value = LOW (); }
-
-We want to convert LOW to return float, so we cast HIGH usage:
-
-  float LOW (void) { return 1.0; }
-  void HIGH (void) { int value = (int) LOW (); }  /* iftc */
-
-The comment /* iftc */ is used to mark this type of casting to differentiate
-it from other casting.  We commit the changes and can now go about modifying
-LOW and HIGH separately.  When HIGH is ready to handle the type change, the
-cast can be removed.
