I propose this patch to remove the information schema tables
SQL_LANGUAGES, which was eliminated in SQL:2008, and SQL_PACKAGES, which
was eliminated in SQL:2011. Since they were dropped by the SQL
standard, the information in them was no longer updated and therefore no
longer useful.

This also removes the feature-package association information in
sql_feature_packages.txt, but for the time begin we are keeping the
information which features are in the Core package (that is, mandatory
SQL features). Maybe at some point someone wants to invent a way to
store that that does not involve using the "package" mechanism
anymore.
