[Mageia-sysadm] Drop package wicd

As per https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5608
with no objections from the developers mailing list,
could someone from the sysadmin team remove the srpm
wicd from the Cauldron Core Release repository, and
add it to task-obsoletes for Mageia 1.

None of the versions in Cauldron or Mageia 1 will
work.  We've had no bug reports raised on it, indicating
no-one has even tried to use it.

It conflicts with network manager, and drakx network
tools, requiring manually disabling them, to even try
to use wicd.

There are currently wicd packages in Cauldron core release,
Mageia 1 core release, and Mageia 1 updates testing.

Thanks, Dave Hodgins
