[Bf-cycles] Remove old Sky Model

[Thomas Dinges]

Hi Ton,

I really hoped for the 2.8x project to finally kick of. It was announced 
almost a year ago, and sounded quite promising (including the 
possibility for module teams to do bigger cleanups).

If we decide to stick to the 2.7x series for much longer (2.78, 2.79...) 
then *that* is something, that we need a roadmap for.
Because if that will be the case, I'd ask for a Cycles branch, where we 
can work on bigger topics.

I would like to mention here though, that I wanted to just replace 
Preetham with Hosek in 2013, when I added it. Back then Brecht suggested 
to keep it for a bit. Now 2 years later, I'd like to remove it, as Hosek 
is much more realistic. When will such changes be possible, without 
conflicting with  the BF schedule?

Best regards,
Thomas
