#4518: RTEMS and LibBSD both provide pipe()

-----------------------------+-------------------------
RTEMS provides a `pipe()` call in `cpukit/libfs/src/pipe/pipe.c` and
LibBSD also provides a call in `rtemsbsd/rtems/rtems-bsd-syscall-api.c`.
We should have competing calls.
The selection of the version you get depends on the link order and the
linker version. The RTEMS 6 linker seems to have a different preference to
RTEMS 5. Apart from this fragility LibBSD should be providing this
interface.
A LibBSD `pipe()` is problematic for a number of reasons and so I am going
to remove the call from it.
If LibBSD support is needed it needs to be via a file system op handles
like all other file system interfaces for descriptor based access. I will
not be adding this support.
