[BEAM-488] Remove KEYS file

Per discussion, linked in JIRA:

> Bundling PGP keys inside a package is worse than worthless – an
> attacker can just bundle spoofed keys with a bogus distro! Keys need
> to be made available from a highly reliable, separate server: Download
> the main package from a mirror, get PGP keys from apache.org,
> pgp.mit.edu, etc. and verify.
>
> The KEYS file within the Beam source tree should be deleted.
