remove dead and broken tvec ~[T] code path
`Box<[T]>` is created by allocating `Box<[T, ..n]>` and coercing it so
this code path is never used. It's also broken because it clamps the
capacity of the memory allocations to 4 elements and that's incompatible
with sized deallocation. This dates back to when `~[T]` was a growable
vector type implemented as:
*{ { tydesc, ref_count, prev, next }, { length, capacity, data[] } }
Since even empty vectors had to allocate, it started off the capacity of
all vectors at 4 as a heuristic. It's not possible to grow `Box<[T]>`
and there is no need for a memory allocation when it's empty, so it
would be a terrible heuristic today even if it worked.
