util: Remove p, has been deprecated for years

[geek]

This function has been deprecated for years... it's not documented either, so should fall under the implicit API deprecation policy:

https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/v0.8.28-release/lib/util.js#L450-L454

Adding this to the list of things to check.

+1, FWIW, here's the deprecation commit from five years ago: 022c083

I think it's definitely safe to remove something deprecated in v0.1.96 hahaha

[mscdex]

LGTM

[geek]

@chrisdickinson update?

[chrisdickinson]

Still working on the tool to check. It's coming along, but I'm not sure there should be a rush to remove this?

[chrisdickinson]

(OTOH, it's really unlikely that removing .p will break anything — I just lean towards the side of paranoia.)

[bnoordhuis]

For the record, util.p was deprecated almost five years ago in commit e38eb0c. It's been printing a deprecation warning since node v0.3.0.

TSC agreed to remove util.p in master, I believe this can be merged but @Fishrock123 has the action item for this

Added to the 5.0.0 milestone.
