Bug#904863: emacs-goodies-el: drop tc.el



Hello

It looks like tc.el (Trivial Cite) is no longer needed. Correctly
configuring these two variables provide by Gnus:

message-citation-line-function
message-citation-line-format

provide the same outcome as Trivial-Cite did previously. For me anyway.

So, I won't further pursue taking over maintainership of tc.el
