  [#4393] Remove catch-all OPTIONS route

It was added because Pylons was returning the body of the `GET` response
when requesting `OPTIONS`, so a catch-all route was added, pointing to a
view function that just returns an empty response.
Flask handles this automatically (supporting the `OPTIONS` request and
returning an empty response), and all significant routes have
been now migrated to Flask on master, so I think it's safe to remove it.

  [#4393] Remove old catch-all route to render arbitrary templates

It is unused, undocumented and not the safest sounding thing in the
world.
