sh: Remove unused man page for echo builtin.
The information in sh(1) about the echo builtin is equivalent, though less extensive. The echo(1) man page (bin/echo/echo.1) is different. Unfortunately, sh's echo builtin and /bin/echo have gone out of sync and this probably cannot be fixed any more. Reported by: uqs (list of untouched files) MFC after: 1 week

-.Dt ECHO 1
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm echo
-.Nd produce message in a shell script
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm
-.Op Fl n | Fl e
-.Ar args...
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-utility prints its arguments on the standard output, separated by spaces.
-Unless the
-.Fl n
-option is present, a newline is output following the arguments.
-The
-.Fl e
-option causes
-.Nm
-to treat the escape sequences specially, as described in the following
-paragraph.
-The
-.Fl e
-option is the default, and is provided solely for compatibility with
-other systems.
-Only one of the options
-.Fl n
-and
-.Fl e
-may be given.
-.Pp
-If any of the following sequences of characters is encountered during
-output, the sequence is not output.
-Instead, the specified action is
-performed:
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Li \eb
-A backspace character is output.
-.It Li \ec
-Subsequent output is suppressed.
-This is normally used at the end of the
-last argument to suppress the trailing newline that
-.Nm
-would otherwise output.
-.It Li \ef
-Output a form feed.
-.It Li \en
-Output a newline character.
-.It Li \er
-Output a carriage return.
-.It Li \et
-Output a (horizontal) tab character.
-.It Li \ev
-Output a vertical tab.
-.It Li \e0 Ns Ar digits
-Output the character whose value is given by zero to three digits.
-If there are zero digits, a
-.Dv NUL
-character is output.
-.It Li \e\e
-Output a backslash.
-.El
-.Sh HINTS
-Remember that backslash is special to the shell and needs to be escaped.
-To output a message to standard error, say
-.Pp
-.D1 echo message >&2
-.Sh BUGS
-The octal character escape mechanism
-.Pq Li \e0 Ns Ar digits
-differs from the
-C language mechanism.
-.Pp
-There is no way to force
-.Nm
-to treat its arguments literally, rather than interpreting them as
-options and escape sequences.
