contrib: remove remote-helper stubs
The "remote-helpers" directory contains two remote helper scripts for Mercurial and Bazaar. These scripts have since been converted into stubs in b2c851a8e67 (Revert "Merge branch 'jc/graduate-remote-hg-bzr' (early part)", 2014-05-20) as the helpers have been moved into their own upstream projects [1][2]. Given that these stubs have been created more than a decade ago it is very unlikely that anybody still tries to use them. Remove them.
