remove Open Solaris section of the docs as it's no longer supported. Open Solaris is not on Oracle's roadmap [1] and they have stopped pushing code to a public repository [2].

-    Open Solaris does not fulfill the requirements.
-    Two requirements are hopelessly outdated (M4, Autoconf)&nbsp;<a href="#requirements-opensolaris-dev-note">(*)</a>,
-    and one requirement is not provided at all (SCons).
-    If you want to run mingw-cross-env on Open Solaris nevertheless,
-    a lot of manual work is required:

-
-    <p>
-    Install all requirements
-    that already ship with Solaris:

-    (*) If you are using the
