libdpkg: Remove obsolete internal status aliases
The strings are “postinst-failed” for stat_halfconfigured and
“removal-failed” for stat_halfinstalled.
These were used for backward compatibility during upgrades from ancient
dpkg versions. As they should not appear in newer status files, it's
really safe to remove them now.
