Make gnus-uu-view-with-metamail obsolete

Browse source 
The metamail package was last released in 1994, and has been removed
from most GNU/Linux distributions due to being buggy and unmaintained.

* lisp/gnus/gnus-uu.el (gnus-uu-view-with-metamail): Make obsolete.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi (Other Decode Variables): Don't document
above obsolete variable.
