Add tweaks for the not anymore patented IDEA algorithm.

Browse source 
* g10/keygen.c (keygen_set_std_prefs): Include IDEA only in PGP2
compatibility mode.
* g10/misc.c (idea_cipher_warn): Remove.  Also remove all callers.
* common/status.h (STATUS_RSA_OR_IDEA): Remove.  Do not emit this
status anymore.

To keep the number of actually used algorithms low, we want to support
IDEA only in a basically read-only way (unless --pgp2 is used during
key generation).  It does not make sense to suggest the use of this
old 64 bit blocksize algorithm.  However, there is old data available
where it might be helpful to have IDEA available.
