drop local copy of sbigudrv #25

This PR removes the local copy of the SBIG SDK and also their ethsim test program, which are proprietary. As noted in #23, redistributing with this project is a licensing problem.

Update README.md to point users to the INDI packaged version of the sbigudrv. I am not sure what the deal is with Linux support from Diffraction Limited. I couldn't find the SBIG linux SDK anymore on their web site. In the past, I've found their staff to be extremely helpful about Linux questions on the forums, however. The last copy of drops I experimented with that contained arm support were handed out via a private dropbox account when I asked for them there.

Modify configure so that if the library is found at include time, it is linked with the sbig-util programs. The path supplied to sbig_dlopen() is allowed to be NULL, in which case the SBIG symbols are found via the main program's address space. If the library is not found, then sbig_dlopen() will fail unless a library path is configured in the .ini file or in the environment SBIG_UDRV.
