Remove the pg module and related documentation

This module has been marked experimental for more than 15 years,
and has largely been superseded by the pg2 module from the kernel
application. The original pg also has no tests and has not been
updated in the last 15 years other than small maintenance edits
(like adding specs or replacing pid/1 by is_pid/1). It is pretty
unlikely that anyone uses it today and its presence is simply
confusing as people should be using pg2 anyway.
