ipfw: Retire obsolete compat code

Description

ipfw: Retire obsolete compat code

The current IPFW version 3 dates to 2010 (commit cc4d3c30ea28, "Bring in
the most recent version of ipfw and dummynet, developed").

The compat code for FreeBSD 8 and earlier has a number of issues and is
no longer needed, so remove it.
