Attachment: Remove SunOS5.x.mk for SunOS 5.3-5.7

Solaris 8 (SunOS 5.8) was released at the same time as Windows XP, so
it is safe to drop support for Solaris versions older than Solaris 8.

In fact, I think it is fine to only support Solaris 10 and newer, but
I'm willing to be more conservative.

I agree, Given that we no longer have test machines for any of these platforms.

Attachment: [For future reference] Further cleanup: use SunOS5.mk for all Solaris versions

Kai: feel free to review or ignore this patch.

This patch should allow us to just use coreconf/SunOS5.mk for all Solaris
versions and remove all of the SunOS5.x.mk files.

Right now each of the SunOS5.x.mk file adds -DSOLARIS2_x to OS_DEFINES,
where x = 8, 9, 10, 11. I verified that none of the SOLARIS2_x macros
is being used, so I didn't copy that to SunOS5.mk.

Ideally we should do a CVS copy of SunOS5.mk to SunOS.mk. This will
allow us to avoid the special case in coreconf/config.mk.
