Field3D deprecation part 2: Remove field3d support (#3151)

OIIO 2.3 marked it as deprecated. This new change is for master (2.4+)
only -- removing all support for Field3D.

F3d is effectively unmaintained, is known to be incompatible with
the latest versions of OpenEXR/Imath, and we haven't found anyone
prepared to speak up as a user of it via OpenImageIO support.

 ----------------------------------------------
 New minimum dependencies and compatibility changes:
+* Support for Field3D files have been removed entirely. The Field3D library
+  appears to be no longer maintained, and is incompatible with modern versions
+  of OpenEXR/Imath. We believe that all prior uses of Field3D use via OIIOhave
+  been migrated to OpenVDB.

-Field3D
-===============================================
-
-Field3d is an open-source volume data file format.  Field3d files commonly
-use the extension :file:`.f3d`. The official Field3D site is:
-https://github.com/imageworks/Field3D Currently, OpenImageIO only reads
-Field3d files, and does not write them.
-
-Fields are comprised of multiple *layers* (which appear to OpenImageIO
-as subimages).  Each layer/subimage may have a different name, resolution,
-and coordinate mapping.  Layers may be scalar (1 channel) or vector (3
-channel) fields, and the data may be ``half``, `float`, or ``double``.
-
-OpenImageIO always reports Field3D files as tiled.  If the Field3d file has
-a "block size", the block size will be reported as the tile size. Otherwise,
-the tile size will be the size of the entire volume.

-
-The "unique layer name" is generally the partition name + ``:`` + attribute
-name (example: ``"defaultfield:density"``), with the following exceptions:
-(1) if the partition and attribute names are identical, just one is used
-rather than it being pointlessly concatenated (e.g., ``"density"``, not
-``"density:density"``); (2) if there are mutiple partitions + attribute
-combinations with identical names in the same file, "*number*" will be added
-after the partition name for subsequent layers (e.g., ``"default:density"``,
-``"default.2:density"``, ``"default.3:density"``).
