devel: Remove rx
This no longer has any users in pkgsrc and was discontinued upstream.
The GNU website says:
RX has been decommissioned, since no one has come forward to revive it, to \
improve it over the other free software regex library programs that are \
available, which would be quite a big task. (If you are interested after all, \
email <maintainers@gnu.org>
For a current regex implementation, we recommend using the regex code from \
Gnulib; see also the Regular expressions chapter in the Gnulib manual. (Also, if \
all you need is POSIX regexp functionality, any modern C library should provide \
that.)
The one-time regex standalone library has likewise been decommissioned in favor \
of the above.
(It's been unmaintained since at least 2010).
