strip: remove experimental.prunestrip option
marmoute decided to drop it because it's "neither documented nor a good idea".
This extensions was assemble to deal with Facebook willingness to check `hg
strip` semantic for its user. Changing `hg strip` semantic is overall a pretty
bad idea, because `stripping` is a specific operation, that is problematic in
distributed version control but have a narrow set of valid usecase (eg:
maintenance). Diverting user away from `prune` in favor of a modified `strip` is
a bad idea, because it mask the legitimate `strip` usage and introduce confusion
in user heads, The verb is not appropriate and the behavior of `prunestrip` does
not match the one of vanillia `strip`.
Facebook is no longer using this, and the lack of documentation is a good hint
that nobody else is. So lets drop it.
