sys-libs/db: remove USE=rpc support
Remove USE=rpc support for all 4.x releases. Upstream removed RPC
support in the 4.8 series, but it was still present in older releases.
The upstream RPC server component (berkeley_db_svc) is single-threaded,
has no security, and other limitations that make it not suited for many
uses.
It could be revived by porting to use libtirpc, see
net-analyzer/argus/files/argus-3.0.8.2-rpc.patch as an example of some
of the required changes.
Fixes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/699750
