rfc: delete flow-lossage.bbclass

[Phil Blundell]

I think this class has probably outlived its usefulness and I propose to
delete it.  Any objections?

There are still recipes using it, are you going to fix those as well?

Depends what you mean by "fix".  I would remove "inherit flow-lossage"
from the recipes in question, obviously, but I don't plan to do any more
than that.

You are sure nobody is using gcc 3.4 in OE anymore?

I imagine there probably are people using gcc-3.4 still, but I doubt
there are many, if any, who are using gcc-3.4 on an affected target and
building the packages that suffered from this problem (predominantly
gnome).

But, if there's consensus on this list that the flow-lossage thing is
likely to still be a real issue for some folks, I guess an alternative
plan would be to rework the class so that it simply has no effect with
newer compilers.
