Subject: [PATCH] Remove AsciiArt shader

This shader has been rendered nonfunctional due to the removal of the function SampleFontLocation, which was never implemented in VideoCommon. The last reference to SampleFontLocation was located in the OGL video backend. It was removed in this commit: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/commit/f039149198657c1891e1c6462ed30c31ed4b8486#diff-24125a6c968a8aca9cadd977d4b9d68f, where many functions were moved to video common, among other things.

This shader should be removed so it does not confuse users with the error that it causes. Alternatively, it could be rewritten so it is compatible with modern versions of Dolphin. I am not familiar with GLSL, so this is currently beyond my skill set.

-		// The idea is to find the perfect char with the perfect background color and the perfect font color.
-		// As this is an equation with three unknowns, we can't just try all chars and color combinations.
-
-		// As criterion how "perfect" the selection is, we compare the "mean squared error" of the resulted colors of all chars.
-		// So, now the big issue: how to calculate the MSE without knowing the two colors ...
-
-		// In the next steps, "a" is the font color, "b" is the background color, "f" is the font value at this pixel, "t" is the texture value
-
-		// So the square error of one pixel is:
-		// e = ( t - a⋅f - b⋅(1-f) ) ^ 2

-		// e = a^2⋅f^2 - 2⋅a⋅b⋅f^2 + 2⋅a⋅b⋅f - 2⋅a⋅f⋅t + b^2⋅f^2 - 2⋅b^2⋅f + b^2 + 2⋅b⋅f⋅t - 2⋅b⋅t + t^2
-
-		// The sum of all errors is: (as shortcut, ff,f,ft,t,tt are now the sums like declared above, sum(1) is the count of pixels)
-		// sum(e) = a^2⋅ff - 2⋅a^2⋅ff + 2⋅a⋅b⋅f - 2⋅a⋅ft + b^2⋅ff - 2⋅b^2⋅f + b^2⋅sum(1) + 2⋅b⋅ft - 2⋅b⋅t + tt
-
-		// To find the minimum, we have to derive this by "a" and "b":
-		// d/da sum(e) = 2⋅a⋅ff + 2⋅b⋅f - 2⋅b⋅ff - 2⋅ft
-		// d/db sum(e) = 2⋅a⋅f - 2⋅a⋅ff - 4⋅b⋅f + 2⋅b⋅ff + 2⋅b⋅sum(1) + 2⋅ft - 2⋅t
