Remove Python-based search-index postprocessing

Introduced in whatwg#114, this script
was a good stopgap for getting dev-edition search working again.
However, as of whatwg/wattsi#56, we were able to
get Wattsi to output the search-index.json file while it was doing all
its other processing, so this is no longer necessary. That frees us from
the Python dependency and increases the build speed.

 - `curl`, `grep`, `perl`, `unzip`
 
-Additionally, unless you use the `--no-post` flag, you'll need the following:
-
-- `python`, `virtualenv`
-- Various dev dependencies usually provided by the `python-dev` package
-
 Optionally, for faster builds, you can install [Wattsi](https://github.com/whatwg/wattsi). If you don't bother with that, the build will use [Wattsi Server](https://github.com/domenic/wattsi-server), which requires an internet connection.
