netfilter: remove ip_queue support

This patch removes ip_queue support which was marked as obsolete
years ago. The nfnetlink_queue modules provides more advanced
user-space packet queueing mechanism.

This patch also removes capability code included in SELinux that
refers to ip_queue. Otherwise, we break compilation.

Several warning has been sent regarding this to the mailing list
in the past month without anyone rising the hand to stop this
with some strong argument.

+What:		ip_queue
+Date:		finally removed in kernel v3.5.0
+Contact:	Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
+Description:
+	ip_queue has been replaced by nfnetlink_queue which provides
+	more advanced queueing mechanism to user-space. The ip_queue
+	module was already announced to become obsolete years ago.
