Remove outdated info and unused files from mcs/ (#4916)
Most of the removed files weren't touched in the last decade
and are unused so it's better to remove them to avoid confusion
about what they do.
I also went over and removed the most outdated info from readme
files, we probably want to do a more thorough overhaul in the future.
