contrib: remove "examples" directory
The "examples" directory used to contain scripted versions of some of
our builtins. These have all been removed in 49eb8d39c78 (Remove
contrib/examples/*, 2018-03-25), but we left a note in the directory to
make it discoverable that there used to be examples.
It is unlikely that anybody still looks at these examples more than 7
years after they have been removed. Remove the note and its directory.
