Remove xtrabackup_binary file in 2.2

[Alexey Kopytov]

The xtrabackup_binary file is redundant in 2.2 now that the single binary changes have been implemented. This was supposed to be a part of the original single binary implementation, but has slipped through the cracks.

We should probably have a backup taken with 2.2 fail to prepare with
2.1? I wonder if we could (ab)use the xtrabackup_binary file for this
purpose?

I’m not sure 2.1 should necessarily fail to prepare a backup taken with
2.2. Even if so, using xtrabackup_binary to implement that would be
unreliable. One can always override it with --ibbackup=...
