!! Error while fetching streams

The current implementation apparently aimed at supporting videos from user feeds. As said in #6158, I don't have a Facebook account. Creating a new one without valid personal data doesn't work reliably and they'll block/ban you immediately, which makes this unnecessarily difficult. I therefore don't have any interest in fixing this.

Facebook's "new" livestreaming service however was never supported by the plugin
https://www.facebook.com/watch/live
If anyone wants support for this, they can submit a new working plugin implementation. This plugin removal simply gets rid of the broken code, so that we don't incorrectly advertise support for that site.
