Remove contrib/chkpass

The recent addition of a test suite for this module revealed a few
problems. It uses a crypt() method that is no longer considered secure
and doesn't work anymore on some platforms. Using a volatile input
function violates internal sanity check assumptions and leads to
failures on the build farm.

So this module is neither a usable security tool nor a good example for
an extension. No one wanted to argue for keeping or improving it, so
remove it.
