Remove old-run-webkit-tests support from webkitpy

It's just confusing things.  Only Apple Win still uses old-run-webkit-tests, and the Apple-Win EWS does not run tests.

I believe partially-broken NRWT support is at the root of bug 103839, in part because NRWT is currently a second-class "experimental" citizen in the EWS code.  Since NRWT has now long been the default, we should make it a real boy and kill ORWT (since I'm very likely to break it by re-working this code anyway).

At least the following tools will break:
1. sheriff-bot, webkit-patch will no longer understand ORWT results files (from Apple-Win buildbots, etc.)
2. webkit-patch build-and-test (something no one uses) will not work on AppleWin
3. The AppleWin EWS cannot graduate to a testing-EWS w/o moving to NRWT (that's probably for the best, given how impossibly slow it is already).

There is no urgency to this, but again, I think it's likely I may break ORWT support in webkitpy by accident as part of fixing bug 103839.
