remove a special rule for IBM Spacesaver boards that is no longer needed

Ghost User requested to merge (removed):ibmspacesaver into master

Fourteen years ago, commit b69a8bdf added a rule for redefining the <NMLK> key for IBM Spacesaver keyboards in order to have Num_Lock on both levels. This was needed to overwrite Pointer_EnableKeys that was on the second level by default, which interfered with how the Spacesaver NumLock key worked (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/16767).

Two years later, commit 1bc01a5e removed the default assignment of Pointer_EnableKeys to the second level of <NMLK>, thus making the special rule for IBM Spacesavers redundant.

(There are still a few vendor files that assign Pointer_EnableKeys. These assignments should probably be removed too.)
