configure.ac: remove detection of WARN_UNUSED_RESULT

spice configure.ac has some code to detect if the compiler has
a special attribute to tag some functions so that they generate a
warning when their return value isn't checked. However, this test
is broken (the gcc attribute name is "warn_unused_result", not
"__warn_unused_result__" and WARN_UNUSED_RESULT is unused anyway
since spice-protocol provides SPICE_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT. Thus
we can just drop that block of code from configure.ac
