Remove obsolete API filter for GCData and Display on MacOS

[HeikoKlare]

Since recent PDE and Tycho changes, the API filters for GCData and Display on MacOS are not necessary anymore and produce warnings due to being obsolete. This removes the according filters.

@laeubi can you say whether this is somehow expected?

I am not sure which PDE change introduced (or rather fixed) this. But since the recent Tycho update (eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator#2360), SWT builds fail because of this, e.g., https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/actions/runs/10941734968/job/30377080455?pr=1378

@HeikoKlare I can't tell you exactly why but it seems more that after a release some filters become no longer required (maybe because there is a new API baseline now), but I never have digged to much into this and just removed items that are declared no longer required.

[HeikoKlare]

Alright, then it's probably fine to remove them. Even though in this case it's not a consequence of a release and thus a change in the API baseline, but a consequence of using Tycho 4.0.9 instead of 4.0.8.

Anyway, there currently is another build issue introduced by the Tycho version bump (eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator#2360 (comment)), which needs to be fixed before merging this PR makes sense.

API Tools is always a mystery ;-)

I can only tell that 4.0.8 by default ships with the API-Tools 2024-03 and 4.0.9 uses API-Tools 2024-09 as a default, maybe something has changed there, I just noticed similar messages in the past.
