unused files from a long time ago

This Python 2 test-tree generator (print statements, string.letters,
.next()) has been broken on modern Python for years and is referenced
nowhere in the build, tests, or any script. Drop it.
rsync3.txt and rsyncsh.txt are Martin Pool's 2001 design proposals
("notes towards a new version of rsync", an interactive rsync shell),
neither of which reflects the current implementation. doc/profile.txt is
stale profiling notes. None are referenced by the build, tests, or docs.
doc/rsync.sgml is a 1996-2002 DocBook user manual (with README-SGML
describing the docbook-utils build) that was long ago superseded by the
markdown man pages. It is unmaintained and referenced by nothing in the
build. This empties doc/.
The SGML manual idea is long dead (man pages are markdown now, and the
DocBook source was just removed). Remove both TODO mentions.
