vo_sharedbuffer: remove this VO
Since slave mode is not planned to be kept, this VO is useless and I'm removing it. This VO was useful for OSX GUIs. Since in cocoa you can't embed views in windows from other processes, this VO was writing to a sharedbuffer with mmap. The OSX GUIs would then read from the buffer and render the image with an external renderer. If in the future we will want to support GUIs we will need to reasearch the IOSurface framework. This allows to share kernel managed image data across processes and integrates well with OpenGL.
