Kill support for DANE.

This patch removes support for DANE validation of TLS certificates.

There wasn't enough support in the IRC community to push for this on the
majority of bigger IRC networks. If you believe this should be
reintroduced into irssi, then please come up with an implementation that
does not rely on the libval library. It is causing a lot of troubles for
our downstream maintainers.
