relink: really remove the commandjs/retire-relink

The files in contrib/examples are meant to illustrate "you could
combine plumbing commands to implement something like these"; this
is an opposite and is an example of what not to do, e.g. accessing
the object store directly bypassing Git.

Remove it.
