doc: remove outdated LTS info from ROADMAP.md

Trott · MylesBorins · commit d6764672086c · 2016-10-26T14:08:59.000-04:00
The ROADMAP.md doc has not been substantially updated since its creation in February 2015. As such, the LTS information is incorrect. Removing it for now. (If it is deemed critical to the roadmap, links to current information can be added back in. I'm skeptical that the roadmap document is of much utility at this point, though, given the lack of updates. Less may be more here, as the cliche goes.)
