Remove error about obsolete dereferencing of newtype structs.

A built-in feature enabling the dereferencing of newtype structs was removed
in PR #11188, and this error (E0068) was added at the same time to warn of
its removal. It seems to make sense to remove the error now, given that
the obsolete feature it is warning about was removed nearly a year and a
half ago.
