New remove-package tool, usable by non-Canonical archive admins

I've written a new remove-package API client in lp:ubuntu-archive-tools
which replaces the old lp-remove-package.py on cocoplum with immediate
effect, and which can be used without ssh access.  Removals show up in
+publishinghistory in exactly the same way; it's no longer possible to
override the "removed_by" user, but this is probably a good thing anyway
and you can always credit a user in the removal comment.

If you're doing anything remotely related to removals, please update
your ubuntu-archive-tools checkout.
