Rename DOCS/tech/ to DOCS/OUTATED-tech/
While DOCS/tech/ contains lots of documentation about mplayer's
internals, most of it seems outdated, and hasn't been touched in many
years. On the other hand, there still might be useful things in there,
but it's hard to tell which parts.
Instead of deleting all it, rename the directory to "warn" potential
developers that the documentation is completely outdated.
