xfsprogs: remove irix, darwin, freebsd support
Hi all,
This is a metapatch proposing that we drop all the non-Linux xfsprogs ports.
Irix hasn't had a release since August 2006.
OSX doesn't support XFS and (afaict) never has.
FreeBSD EOL'd v9.3 (which was the last one to support XFS) in January 2017.
So, can we git rm {include,libxfs}/{irix,darwin,freebsd}.[ch] ?

I sent out the same query in May 2017,
"RFC: removing non-linux platform support from xfsprogs"
and nobody really chimed in to keep any of it. I'm happy to nuke it, and if someone comes back with a tail of woe, we can always put it back in place if it's deemed wise.

+1, FreeBSD never meant to actually have a 'fully supported' XFS port anyway, and nobody was interested in updating it to comply with their VFS changes between 9 and 10, so they just decided to drop it. And Irix is EOL, so I believe it's safe to remove it.
