Doc: remove ancient comment.

There's a very old comment in rules.sgml added back to 2003.  It
expected to a feature coming back but it never happened. So now we can
safely remove the comment. Back-patched to all supported branches.

-    Another situation is cases on <command>UPDATE</command> where it depends on the
-    change of an attribute if an action should be performed or
-    not. The only way to
-    create a rule as in the shoelace_log example is to do it with
-    a rule qualification. That results in an extra query that is
-    performed always, even if the attribute of interest cannot
-    change at all because it does not appear in the target list
-    of the initial query. When this is enabled again, it will be
-    one more advantage of rules over triggers. Optimization of
-    a trigger must fail by definition in this case, because the
-    fact that its actions will only be done when a specific attribute
-    is updated is hidden in its functionality. The definition of
-    a trigger only allows to specify it on row level, so whenever a
-    row is touched, the trigger must be called to make its
-    decision. The rule system will know it by looking up the
-    target list and will suppress the additional query completely
-    if the attribute isn't touched. So the rule, qualified or not,
-    will only do its scans if there ever could be something to do.

     The summary is, rules will only be significantly slower than
     triggers if their actions result in large and badly qualified
