[getdns-api] Removing STARTTLS from the API

[Shane Kerr]

Andrew,

In one sense you are correct, but the longer functionality is around the
harder it is to get rid of.

Perhaps it should be marked as "scheduled for removal" now in the
documentation and via comments in the code, and the actual removal
deferred until the magical day in the distant future when drafts become
RFCs?

Cheers,
