Remove deprecated explore section
We decided that we don't want to be a platform for news feeds. English is the only language allowed for the explore page. Entries are hand selected by the core members. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Brahmer <info@b-brahmer.de>

-# Explore Feeds Section
-
-The News app uses a JSON format to display the feeds in the explore feed section.
-
-The feeds are stored in a JSON file in the [explore](https://github.com/nextcloud/news/tree/master/lib/Explore/feeds) folder and are localized based on their filename, meaning: feeds.en.json will only be shown for English localized Nextcloud installations, feeds.de.json only for German installations. If no other localization exists, the feeds.en.json will be taken.
-
-You can also provide your own explore service.
-
-## Format
-
-The file has the following format:
-```js
-{
- "Nextcloud": [{ // category
- "title": "Nextcloud Planet",
- "favicon": "https://nextcloud.com/contribook/main/images/nextcloud/100.png",
- "url": "https://nextcloud.com/news/",
- "feed": "https://nextcloud.com/feed/",
- "description": "Nextcloud Planet is a blog feed aggregator",
- "votes": 1000
- }],
-}
-```
-
-To ease the pain of constructing the JSON object, you can use a nextcloud command to automatically create it:
-
- php ./occ news:generate-explore https://path.com/to/feed.rss
-
-By passing a second parameter you can set the vote count which determines the sorting on the explore page:
-
- php ./occ news:generate-explore https://path.com/to/feed.rss 1000
-
-You can paste the output directly into the appropriate json file but you may need to add additional categories and commas
-
-## Using A Webservice Instead of JSON Files
-
-If you are using the News app in your company/community it might be interesting to offer your users a bunch of easily to discover default feeds. You could also create a website where people can add and up-vote news feeds like bigger cloud feed readers like Feedly do it or even convert their APIs into a service for the News app (if someone wants to provide one for the News app, feel free to contact us by creating an issue in the bug tracker).
-
-The URL should be a path to a directory which contains a JSON file in the format of **feeds.LANG_CODE.json** where LANG_CODE is a two character language code (e.g. **en** or **de**).
-
-For example entering the URL **https://domain.com/directory** as explore URL will produce the following request for German users:
-
- GET https://domain.com/directory/feeds.de.json
-
-
-**Do not forget to implement [CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Access_control_CORS) in your API, otherwise the request will fail!** \ No newline at end of file
