libobjc: remove deprecated API (patch 4)

libobjc: remove deprecated API (patch 4)

[Nicola Pero]

This patch removes -forward:: from Object.  I was planning to do this later, but the
previous patch (patch 3) removed -doesNotRecognize:, which was used in the default
implementation of -forward::, which generates some ugly warnings when compiling.  
Removing -forward:: removes the warnings.

Please note that at this stage the runtime may still invoke -forward:: if you have it 
implemented in your own class, and have not installed a custom forwarding routine.  
There are testcases in the GCC testsuite that test this.  This will all go away later, 
and will require removing the testcases, but at the same time I'd like to add new 
testcases for __objc_msg_forward and __objc_msg_forward2, which are the actual hooks 
used in practice by users of libobjc, but which currently are not really tested.

For now, this patch just removes [Object -forward::], which is deprecated, and makes 
libobjc compile again without warnings.

Committed to trunk.

Thanks
