cleanup: remove the original netx implementation (#653)
This commit completely removes the original netx implementation,
which was only used by `tor`, since this has changed in
https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/pull/652.

The original netx implementation was my first attempt at performing
network measurements using Go. It started its life inside of the
https://github.com/ooni/netx repository. It was later merged into
the https://github.com/ooni/probe-engine repository. It finally
ended up into this repository when we merged probe-engine with it.

The main issue with the original implementation is that it was
a bit too complex and used channels where they were probably not
necessary. Because of that, later I introduced a second netx
implementation, which currently lives in ./internal/engine/netx.

The current netx implementation, the third one, lives in the
./internal/netxlite package. We are currently working to replace
the second implementation with the third one, but this is happening
at a slow pace. Also, the second implementation does not have big
maintenance concerns but it's just a bit too bureaucratic to use
since it involves creating lots of `Config` structures.

The reference issue is probably https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1688,
since this diff has been enabled by rewriting Tor to use `measurex`
(a library living on top of `netxlite`).

This package contains legacy code that we will soon remove. When this folder is empty, it means there's no large, incremental refactoring in progress.
