[Pdweb] removing unused 'Hardware' and 'Language Bindings' from downloads

It looks like recently someone added 'Hardware' and 'Language Bindings'
categories to the downloads page. My guess is that IOhannes did this. I
think this is a bad idea because it makes the download page too cluttered to
be useable, and people can already search using keywords to find specific things.

Having too many categories will make it more confusing to use the downloads
page, both for newbies and for people who want to place their code up there.

But I do agree with you HC.

the only thing i could imagine is, that those categories have always
been there but only now somebody used them (they won't show up in the
/downlads/ page until there is at least one item uses the category)

Sorry for the blame, I guess I'll just move the Faust lib to the Externals
and Libraries section. And remove those empty categories.
