Delete any_slice which has been deprecated since Kani 0.38.0. (rust-lang#2860)

Kani's `any_slice` function (and related code) has been deprecated since
Kani 0.38.0 (see rust-lang#2789). This PR officially obsoletes it by deleting the
code.

-/// A struct that stores a slice of type `T` with a non-deterministic length
-/// between `0..=MAX_SLICE_LENGTH` and with non-deterministic content.  This is
-/// useful in situations where one wants to verify that all slices with any
-/// content and with a length up to `MAX_SLICE_LENGTH` satisfy a certain
-/// property. Use `any_slice` to create an instance of this struct.
-///
-/// # Example:
-///
-/// ```rust
-/// let slice: kani::slice::AnySlice<u8, 5> = kani::slice::any_slice();
-/// foo(&slice); // where foo is a function that takes a slice and verifies a property about it
