[Bug 1340067] [NEW] Drop 20_add_alt_screen_toggle_ui.patch - it does nothing with vte3 >= 0.34.9

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

On 2013-09-30, the alternate scroll mode has been implemented in vte3
upstream [1]. In the same commit,
vte_terminal_set_alternate_screen_scroll function has been added which
does nothing and is there only for the compatibility with the previously
patched Ubuntu's vte3 (the patch has been dropped in vte3
0.34.9-1ubuntu1).

Since this function now does nothing, Ubuntu's
20_add_alt_screen_toggle_ui.patch for gnome-terminal does nothing too.
It doesn't matter whether you turn the alt.scroll on or off in gnome-
terminal's preferences window - the mouse scroll in console apps like
man is ALWAYS turned on. Seems like it's always turned on in vte3 >=
0.34.9 (again, see [1] for more info).

So I propose to drop this 20_add_alt_screen_toggle_ui.patch since it's
useless now.
