contrib: remove "emacs" directory
While the "emacs/" directory still exists, all of its code has been replaced with stubs in 6d5ed4836db (git{,-blame}.el: remove old bitrotting Emacs code, 2018-04-11). Instead, the recommendation is to use Emacs' own vc-annotate mode. Remove the code altogether. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
