feat(ofi)!: Remove ofi transport

BREAKING CHANGE

Due to a lack of users, we remove the experimental code. The
latest implementation can be found in release v1.4.56. This does
not mean it will never be picked up again, but for now there are
no plans.

The core of FairMQ provides an abstract asynchronous message passing API with scalability protocols
inspired by [ZeroMQ](https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq) (e.g. PUSH/PULL, PUB/SUB).
FairMQ provides multiple implementations for its API (so-called "transports",
e.g. `zeromq`, `shmem` and `ofi` (in development)) to cover a variety of use cases
e.g. `zeromq` and `shmem` (latest release of the `ofi` transport in v1.4.56, removed since v1.5+)) to cover
a variety of use cases
(e.g. inter-thread, inter-process, inter-node communication) and machines (e.g. Ethernet, Infiniband).
In addition to this core functionality FairMQ provides a framework for creating "devices" - actors which
are communicating through message passing. FairMQ does not only allow the user to use different transport
