Remove stale and potentially unused code Request.writeEncryptedScalarStream
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-4706
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4706
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Network Client
    Affects Versions: 10.7.0.0
            Reporter: Kristian Waagan
            Assignee: Kristian Waagan
            Priority: Trivial


The code in net.Request.writeEncryptedScalarStream() is in a bad state, for 
instance:
 - it materializes the stream
 - it doesn't support streams longer than Integer.MAX_VALUE
   (this is fine for BLOB since Derby limits the LOB size to 2G-1, but for 
CLOBs the data stream may be longer since the length is expressed in characters)
 - in some error situations it causes a disconnect

Since the security mechanisms required to run this code (SECMEC_EUSRIDDTA and  
SECMEC_EUSRPWDDTA) are apparently supported in the client but not in the 
network server, deleting it seems like a good option considering its state.
