With the new serializer_catalog module working out so well, I decided to 
test serializer_shelve to see if it actually still works.

It appears it does not, so I am removing it.

This is the experimental bsddb based module intended to get better 
performance with very large amounts of cobbler systems (1000s+), which I 
was never really sure if it was free from bsddb file corruption anyway.  
I don't believe anyone is actively using it.

This will leave us with serializer_catalog as the default format for 
1.2, with serializer_yaml remaining supported until 2.x or so.  Since 
switching to serializer_catalog will upgrade your config from 
serializer_yaml automatically, I think that seems reasonable.

serializer_catalog seems quite capable of 1000+ installs with no sweat, 
and that still does not prohibit work on SQL based options for those 
that find those interesting.  Someone I know was playing with a MySQL 
version earlier.
