Remove the jhbuild plugin
Metadata
Current evaluation
Maintainer sergiusens asked to drop the unused, non-base-aware jhbuild plugin. Resolved by merged PR snapcore/snapcraft#2371 (commit b46e3f678, "plugins: remove jhbuild", ~503 lines removed); no jhbuild references remain in the tree.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: kyrofa posted the resolving PR link (snapcore/snapcraft#2371), which merged as commit b46e3f678 deleting the plugin's 8 files, and the bug was closed. Confirmed by grep showing zero jhbuild matches in the repo.

Issue body
The jhbuild plugin isn't base-aware and isn't used by anyone as far as we're aware (including its original author). Remove it for now; we can add it back later if necessary.
