Subject: [PATCH] Remove ExecRemoveJunk(), which is no longer used anywhere.

This was a leftover from the pre-8.1 design of junkfilters.  It doesn't
seem to have any reason to live, since it's merely a combination of two
easy function calls, and not a well-designed combination at that (it
encourages callers to leak the result tuple).
