#1868: RFC: deprecate PIR

PIR as a language is currently always available in parrot. This privileged
status is part of why PIR is a growing pain for Parrot (usually
experienced as hatred for IMCC).
PIR should be no different to parrot than any language. Therefore, it
should not be baked-in to libparrot and be always available. In stead, PIR
should become a separately loadable component. To get the PIR compiler, a
load_language "PIR" instruction should be issued first.
