As noticed by @slonopotamus in tdtds/kindlegen#42 and asciidoctor/asciidoctor-epub3#363, the binaries for kindlegen are no longer available.

As it breaks the build (the gem installation of the ruby Gem kindlegen fails when downloading this binary),
this PR remove the dependency to the kindlegen Ruby Gem.

As of today, dropping dependency on kindlegen gem is a way to go. Obviously, this means that Mobi generation is no longer available. A new working solution is expected to be done in asciidoctor/asciidoctor-epub3#363.

It actually means that asciidoctor-docker was violating KindleGen EULA by distributing KindleGen binary in docker images.
