Joey Parrish 868208198a feat: Remove third-party source in-repo (#1082 ) This removes apple_apsl and libevent (which are no longer used) and libxml and protobuf (which will be replaced in a follow-up with submodules). This change only contains deletions, to make it easier to review separately from later additions for submodules and cmake integration. Issue #1047 (New build system)		2022-08-16 15:07:21 -07:00
