Remove bfd_elf_discard_group?

A discovery while removing #if 0'd code: bfd_elf_discard_group()
collapsed to an unconditional call to abort().  I grepped around the
src/ tree and discovered that no BFD users call this function.

Okay for mainline?

	* elf-bfd.h (bfd_elf_discard_group): Remove.
	* elf.c (bfd_elf_discard_group): Likewise.
	* elfxx-target.h (bfd_elfNN_bfd_discard_group): Remove macro.
