Summary: Remove all files in the /engine-data folder

Initial Comment:
The extra files needed by some games (e.g. kyra.dat, lure.dat etc) used to be in the /engine-data folder. Now, these files have been moved to the /scummvm/trunk/dists/engine-data folder instead, but all the old files are still left in the /engine-data folder, which serves no real purpose now other than to confuse people and lead to situations like this:

Since the files in the /engine-data folder are now obsolete and old, it would be good if that directory were removed altogether, or alternatively only the files in it could be deleted, and a README file placed which would link to the correct directory
