Motivation for this change

Going through failures for ZHF #45960. Remove 3 dead packages:

  • nant: our version is from 2015, doesn't build, upstream project is dead, only used by boo.
  • boo: marked broken since June 2016, no attempts to fix.
  • banshee: the only package depending on boo, hence broken since June 2016, last upstream release 2014.

marked broken in June 2016, no visible attempt to fix it,
so let's get rid of it
- our version is from 2015
- it doesn't build
- upstream project is dead, last release 2012, last commit Oct 2016.
- used by only 1 nixpkgs package: `boo`, marked broken since 2016.
- was broken since June 2016 because it depends on `boo`
- no visible attempts to fix in over 2 years
