gtkspell2: drop

gtkspell2 is the port of the GtkSpell program to GTK 2, and is
considered legacy by upstream. Most in-tree consumers have migrated to
gtkspell3, so there's little reason to keep it around. The lone
exception is pidgin, which had optional support and is also dependent on
GTK 2, so we simply disable its gtkspell support.
