libvmdump: Remove libvmdump and vmconvert

The library libvmdump is written in C++ and uses exception handling
and class inheritance. The tools vmur and vmconnect are compiled using
the C++ compiler for linking with the libvmdump library.

With integration of vmdump file support into the zgetdump tool and
the removal of vmur vmdump file conversion support there is no need
anymore the vmconvert tool.
With removal of the tool vmconvert, the libvmdump library written in C++
has no more user and can be deleted.

Remove the vmconvert command from the zgetdump man page.

Remove the directories libvmdump and vmconvert and adjust the Makefile.
