[PATCH] ignore-value: remove deprecated ignore_ptr function

[Jim Meyering]

We deprecated ignore_ptr a year ago:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/3784/focus=3802

So I've removed it.

Considering how briefly it existed before it was deprecated,
waiting even this year seems overcautious.  codesearch.google.com
(soon to disappear, itself) says that there are no uses of
/ignore_ptr\ *\(/ in code it indexes.

+2012-01-10  ignore-value    This module no longer provides the ignore_ptr
+                            function.  It was deprecated a year ago, but 
existed
+                            so briefly before then that it never came into use.

                             using gcc's "deprecated" attribute.  Use the 
better-
                             named hash_insert_if_absent equivalent.
