lib: Remove User-Mode Linux

Browse Source 
User-Mode Linux was an alternative hypervisor that could run the
appliance, instead of using qemu.  It had many limitations including
lack of network, and UML support in Linux has been semi-broken for a
long time.  It was also slower than KVM on baremeal in general and had
various corner cases which were much slower including the emulated
serial port which made bulk uploads and downloads painful.  Also of
course it lacked qemu-specific features like qcow2 or any
network-backed disk, so many disk images could not be opened this way.

This was never supported in RHEL.
