The function 'hash_delete' is deprecated since 2021 and overdue for removal.
Only 2 packages still use this function:
- GNU tar, but only in comments. Notified per mail.
- fuse-overlayfs:
Notified through <https://github.com/containers/fuse-overlayfs/issues/442>.
With that, we can remove the function.
