Bug#1144281: Drop package texlive-binaries-sse2

Control: tags -1 + pending

OK, you are right, the split was just done to make sure non-sse2 capable systems do not get *jit* binaries, meanwhile i386 in general can run *jit* binaries.

I've dropped the dep on sse2-support, will think about package merge later.
