borrowck/README.md: Remove SCOPE (mostly unused)

Only one case is used in the text.  All of them are pretty straightforward, so
I don't think the code needs an explicit link to the README.

-The scope of a local variable is the block where it is declared:

-The scope of a field is the scope of the struct:

-```text
-  SCOPE(LV.f) = SCOPE(LV)

-The scope of a unique referent is the scope of the pointer, since
-(barring mutation or moves) the pointer will not be freed until
-the pointer itself `LV` goes out of scope:
-
-```text
-  SCOPE(*LV) = SCOPE(LV) if LV has type Box<T>

-The scope of a borrowed referent is the scope associated with the
-pointer.  This is a conservative approximation, since the data that
-the pointer points at may actually live longer:
