Remove Email To Post Feature

Description

The email to post feature has many bugs, and currently does not work for the vast majority of usecases as the version in core requires an http mailserver (it does not support an https one).

The goal is to remove the entire feature from core for all installs (as it simply doesn't work) including the associated file and settings and move them to a plugin that Kat nearly completed a while ago. On install of 4.3, if one of the options for the mail to post is set to a non default value, we'll automatically download and activate the new version of the plugin which fixes the bugs and supports https mailservers from WordPress.org.

A patch for this has been started
