Remove resident compiler infrastructure #1287

Description

@gkossakowski

Inspired by: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23278316/experimental-support-for-keeping-the-scala-compiler-resident-with-sbt-resident-l

The conclusion from our experiments with resident compilation is that the feature is very difficult to implement (due to Scala compiler being not designed for that use case). The benefit of resident compilation turned out to be much smaller than anticipated.

For those reasons, we don't plan to work on resident compilation and we should remove any references from sbt to it.
