#56586: Useless emacs patches

-------------------------+--------------------
 The emacs-app port currently is applying two patches, both have their
 problems:

 1. patch*-src_emacs.c.diff - that add MacPort's prefix to the PATH of
 emacs but not /usr/local/bin or any other paths in the shell's
 environment, this patch is a half done solution to solve the PATH problem
 when launching Emacs.app from the Finder. A good solution to this problem
 (https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell) has been around for 6
 years now. I suggest we remove this, so there's less maintenance.

 2. patch-enable-multicolor-fonts.diff - this patch was originally added to
 reenable emoji inputs, but it hasn't worked for months now. Every time an
 emoji is inserted, emacs crashes. I suggest we remove this patch unless a
 quick and easy solution is found to reimplement emoji input on MacOS.
