Removal of deprecation for network_interfaces != AUTO

Without objection I plan to commit the attached patch before the code
slush, and to MFC the change.

I've never seen the rationale for this, and I use a value other than
AUTO personally for a script I have that tests to see if the wired
interface is up and starts the wireless if not. I've also seen other
users ask about this from time to time, so I'm sure I'm not alone.
