[PATCH] Do we still need EXEEXT support?

I was looking over our build and test scripts, and I was wondering if we
still needed exeext support?  (That is, all binaries are named with a
common suffix, such as .exe or 4).  

My understanding is that this was added to the selftest system quite
recently (6f6533aa81791d40b37a9e715c7b7669cc92a1c9), to support the 4
suffix for all Samba4 binaries in the first merged build. 

As we have moved to a waf merged build, and if we do not support
platforms which require this for other reasons, I wondered if we could
remove the complexity?

I've prepared two patches, once which removes the unused support from
our test system, and one which removes it from the autoconf build
system.
