media: lirc: remove LIRCCODE and LIRC_GET_LENGTH
LIRCCODE is a lirc mode where a driver produces driver-dependent codes for receive and transmit. No driver uses this any more. The LIRC_GET_LENGTH ioctl was used for this mode only. Signed-off-by: Sean Young <sean@mess.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

- length, in bits
-
-
-Description
-===========
-
-Retrieves the code length in bits (only for
-:ref:`LIRC_MODE_LIRCCODE <lirc-mode-lirccode>`).
-Reads on the device must be done in blocks matching the bit count.
-The bit could should be rounded up so that it matches full bytes.
-
-
-Return Value
-============
-
-On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
-appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
-:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
