Ditch `LLEventTrackable` aka `boost::signals2::trackable`.
Remove documented `LLEventPump` support for `LLEventTrackable`. That claimed support was always a little bit magical/fragile. IF: * a class included `LLEventTrackable` as a base class AND * an instance of that class was managed by `boost::shared_ptr` AND * you passed one of that class's methods and the `boost::shared_ptr` specifically to `boost::bind()` AND * the resulting `boost::bind()` object was passed into `LLEventPump::listen()` THEN the promise was that on destruction of that object, that listener would automatically be disconnected -- instead of leaving a dangling pointer bound into the `LLEventPump`, causing a crash on the next `LLEventPump::post()` call. The only existing code in the viewer code base that exercised `LLEventTrackable` functionality was in test programs. When the viewer calls `LLEventPump::listen()`, it typically stores the resulting connection object in an `LLTempBoundListener` variable, which guarantees disconnection on destruction of that variable. The fact that `LLEventTrackable` support is specific to `boost::bind()`, that it silently fails to keep its promise with `std::bind()` or a lambda or any other form of C++ callable, makes it untrustworthy for new code. Note that the code base still uses `boost::signals2::trackable` for other `boost::signals2::signal` instances not associated with `LLEventPump`. We are not changing those at this time.
