[PATCH] tcmode-default: eliminate needless linux-libc-headers version defaults

[PATCH] tcmode-default: eliminate needless linux-libc-headers version defaults

[Randy.MacLeod]

From: Randy MacLeod <Randy.MacLeod@windriver.com>

Manually setting the preferred version is not required or generally a
good idea as stated in:
   meta/recipes-kernel/linux-libc-headers/linux-libc-headers.inc

   # You're probably looking here thinking you need to create some new copy
   # of linux-libc-headers since you have your own custom kernel. To put
   # this simply, you DO NOT.

so remove that for linux-libc-headers.

I think this is quite commonly used than others you were removing.
Mismatched kernel and kernel-headers
do have resulted in issues and BSPs do not match up to the released
kernel in oe-core. While I am fine with
this change, I think people will still need it, although a bit unwieldy now.
