In keeping up with my status as a hero who removes code: another one bites the

The tc ipt action was intended to run all netfilter/iptables target.
Unfortunately it has not benefitted over the years from proper updates when
netfilter changes, and for that reason it has remained rudimentary.
Pinging a bunch of people that i was aware were using this indicates that
removing it wont affect them.
Retire it to reduce maintenance efforts.
So Long, ipt, and Thanks for all the Fish.

Thanks Jamal for following up on this!
