Jehan 74aa6a2e71 devel-docs: remove gtkbuilder-porting-guide.
Over the last few years, we seem to have been in agreement that .ui
files are not so desirable anymore.

For plug-ins, they are completely deprecated in favor of our much nicer
dialog generation API from properties (the metadata plug-in(s) are the
only ones which still have .ui files but we plan to get rid of these
eventually).
For core code even, we also prefer to generate GUI when we can (as we do
for GEGL ops, for symmetries and other places).
GtkBuilder files actually make for more complicated code, imbricated in
both the C code and .ui files, more bug-prone too and we don't seem to
gain anything from the additional complexity.

So let's get rid of this dev guide.
