Proposal for removing javascript tests from main build process

[jjrodrig]

Overview

All the active JS tests have been ported to elixr. The current make javascript execution is not performing any test.
I propose to remove it from the main build process.

This PR removes @$(MAKE) javascript from the check target

Testing recommendations

make check should not run the javascript test suite

Hi @jjrodrig , this isn't sufficient to fully remove JS from our build process, but if you want to commit this and leave the rest to me, +1.

There's more in configure that needs to be dealt with, and certain things like our Windows builds will change. We will also no longer depend on libcurl which is an advantage in and of itself.

Also you probably want to target main instead of master, and don't forget 3.x.

Yes, more work is required to fully remove the JS support. But, as an initial step, we could just stop running javascript target during the build process.
I'll move all these commits to main and 3.x
Thanks.
