Remove emms-info-ogg.el/ogg-comment.el?

Hi,

since some time ago the manual recommends using
emms-info-*ogginfo*.el to retrieve Ogg Vorbis comments. The
only major advantage of emms-info-*ogg*.el, not to have to
rely on external programs, is gone since nowadays it uses
ogginfo to retrieve the playback length as well. Further,
the native parser seems to fail on non-ASCII comments:

| ELISP> (oggc-read-header "/usr/share/jukebox/Björk, David Arnold: Play Dead.ogg")
| ("Xiph.Org libVorbis I 20020717"
|  (("artist" "Bj\303\266rk, David Arnold")
|   ("title" "Play Dead")))

Therefore, rather than spending time to fix this, I propose
to remove emms-info-*ogg*.el and ogg-comment.el completely.

Same here.

Makes sense, since there are: -ogginfo and -libtag that are both able to
read Ogg comments. I'll remove it.
