These two patches remove code in the rtl8723bs driver that is never
compiled or never referenced, with no change in behavior.

The first patch removes declarations guarded by BEAMFORMING_SUPPORT,
which is defined to 0, so they never reach the compiler. Preprocessing
the driver confirms the symbols are absent from the preprocessed output.

The second patch removes enums and defines left over from other Realtek
chips that are not referenced anywhere in the driver.

Compile-tested on x86. Rebuilding drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/ and
comparing all 55 '.o' files against the pre-change build shows every
object file is byte-for-byte identical.

The beamforming declarations are guarded by

        #if (BEAMFORMING_SUPPORT == 1)

but BEAMFORMING_SUPPORT is defined to 0, so they are never compiled.
The types they use (RT_BEAMFORMING_INFO, BEAMFORMING_CAP, PMGNT_INFO)
are not defined anywhere either. Remove the dead declarations and the
now unused macro.

Remove enums and defines left over from other Realtek chips:

  - the RF_8225, RF_8256, RF_8258, RF_6052 and RF_PSEUDO_11N RF-type
    enum
  - TX_2S, TX_3S and TX_4S
  - RF_PATH_MAX_92C_88E and RF_PATH_MAX_90_8812
  - TX_POWER_NEAR_FIELD_THRESH_8812
  - ODM_ITRF_ALL

None of them is referenced anywhere in the driver.
