ipv6: drop feature RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG

RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG was added before the first git commit:

https://www.mail-archive.com/bk-commits-head@vger.kernel.org/msg03399.html

The feature would send packets to the fragmentation path if a box
receives a PMTU value with less than 1280 byte. However, since commit
9d289715eb5c ("ipv6: stop sending PTB packets for MTU < 1280"), such
message would be simply discarded. The feature flag is neither supported
in iproute2 utility. In theory one can still manipulate it with direct
netlink message, but it is not ideal because it was based on obsoleted
guidance of RFC-2460 (replaced by RFC-8200).

The feature would always test false at the moment, so remove related
code or mark them as unused.
