tests/sys/libc_newlib: drop test
This tests makes little sense to have for a number of reasons:
1. One should not use `iprintf()` for a number of reasons:
1. It is non-standard and using it over `printf()` makes the code
less portable (e.g. it cannot be used on AVR)
2. The idea of adding a leaner variant of `printf()` in addition to
the larger one is bogus, as apps will end up using both resulting
in a *larger* firmware instead of a smaller
3. RIOT's build system already has the `printf_float` module to
control whether formatting of floating point numbers should be
suppered. This mechanism will actually result in smaller builds,
if floating point support is not needed, as it prevents two
variants of printf to be linked in.
2. The test checks some implementation details (e.g. whether the
address of two functions is identical), rather than correct behavior
of the implementation. This is completely bogus.1 parent 543714f commit 7410255
