[Building Sakai] [sakai2-tcc] Remove axis2 for 2.8

[Ray Davis]

Thanks for the ping, Alan -- since the conference I've been so deeply 
plunged into Sakai 3 that this conversation was completely knocked out 
of my head! This is from the email I sent at the time:

-- snip --
The "wsrp" project was dropped between 2.1 and 2.2. The one surviving 
bit was the Java class org.sakaiproject.util.RemoteHostFilter, which got 
relocated to Kernel 1 along with other "util" classes. That class is 
referred to by two other projects still in trunk, "webservices/axis" and 
"webservices/axis2", although I see that Axis 2 is due to be dropped:

Remove Axis2 bundle from deployment
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-18658

It looks as though "webservices/axis" has a number of problems, but I 
know that plenty of schools depend on the module:

I am not sure how or why axis2 was involved, but as it is unused, we have pulled it from our deployment, and adjusted our server config to cater for more open files. Searching the logs, it seems other people that have had the 'too many open files' error, and in most/all cases, axis2 also makes a mention.
