The psutil dependency is used at exactly one location in the codebase. The psutil library claims to be portable, however the broadcast feature is [not supported](https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/blob/8d943015ffce86de31d9494ffa3a1eae7dd91719/psutil/arch/windows/net.c#L210) on Windows. Since we support Linux as Tier-1 and Windows as Tier-2, let's remove the dependency and use the always available system tooling for this.

As for the why remove dependencies that are not really used in gallia: Recently we had a dependency hell situation on a embedded platform; a C compiler toolchain with several special library version was required to build those dependencies via pip (this one uses C-extensions). In order to avoid this situation in the future dependencies without value are removed (see #582, #590).
