    STORM-1213: Remove sigar binaries from source tree

    See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-1213 for description.
    
    Also removes the LICENSE entry for sigar, since I believe that is 
unnecessary since it is Apache licensed.

> In {{external/storm-metrics}} sigar native binaries were added to the source 
> tree. Since Apache releases are source-only, these binaries can't be included 
> in a release.
> My initial thought was just to exclude the binaries from the source 
> distribution, but that would mean that distributions built from a source 
> tarball would not match the convenience binaries from a release (the sigar 
> native binaries would not be included.
> The solution I came up with was to leverage the fact that pre-built native 
> binaries are included in the sigar maven distribution 
> ({{sigar-x.x.x-native.jar}}) and use the maven dependency plugin to unpack 
> them into place during the build, rather than check them into git. One 
> benefit is that it will ensure the versions of the sigar jar and the native 
> binaries match. Another is that mavens checksum/signature checking mechanism 
> will also be applied.
> This isn't an ideal solution since the {{sigar-x.x.x-native.jar}} only 
> includes binaries for linux, OSX, and solaris (notably missing windows DLLs), 
> whereas the non-maven sigar download includes support for a wider range of 
> OSes and architectures.
> I view this as an interim measure until we can find a better way to include 
> the native binaries in the build process, rather than checking them into the 
> source tree -- which would be a blocker for releasing.
