Garbage collect m_copymdata(), an mbuf utility routine introduced

Description

Garbage collect m_copymdata(), an mbuf utility routine introduced
in FreeBSD 7 that has not been used since. It contains a number
of unresolved bugs including an inverted bcopy() and incorrect
handling of read-only mbufs using internal storage. Removing this
unused code is substantially essier than fixing it in order to
update it to the coming mbuf world order -- but it can always be
restored from revision history if it turns out to prove useful for
future work.
