The race_conditions option has not matured despite having been in
Dialyzer since 2008. Quoting its documentation:

Notice that the analysis that finds data races performs
intra-procedural data flow analysis and can sometimes explode in
time. Enable it at your own risk.

Removing the race_conditions option simplifies the Dialyzer code base;
especially the dialyzer_dataflow module.

why did we have it in the first place?
If there is any race condition how do we determine it?
