power: supply: ab8500: Drop BATCTRL thermal mode



The BATCTRL mode reads the temperature of the battery by
enabling a certain probing current (7-20 mA) and then measure
the voltage of the NTC mounted inside the battery.

None of the AB8500 product or the reference designs use this
mode. What we use is the so-called BATTEMP mode which enables
an internal 230 kOhm pull-up to 1.8 V to the external NTC on
pin BatTemp (N16) and then measures the voltage over the NTC
using the ADC:

        1.8V (VTVOUT)
         |
        [ ] 230 kOhm
         |
BatTemp  +---------------- ADC
Pin N16  | _
         |/
        [/] NTC
       _/|
         |
        GND

Cut out the BATCTRL code to clear the forest and stop
maintaining code we can never test.

The current inducing method is still used to probe for the
battery type using the internal BTI (battery type indicator)
on the BatCtrl (C3) pin in a separate code path.
