Remove Googletest FAQ entry for obsolete ProtocolMessageEquals and ProtocolMessageEquiv

* These long-dead variants of the proto matchers don't exist in the current version of Googletest.
* No evidence of external usage: [the only external references I see](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22protocolmessageequals%22+OR+%22protocolmessageequals%22) are copies of this guide. Possibly they were already removed by the time Googletest was publicly released.

## I got some run-time errors about invalid proto descriptors when using `ProtocolMessageEquals`. Help!
{: .callout .note}
**Note:** `ProtocolMessageEquals` and `ProtocolMessageEquiv` are *deprecated*
now. Please use `EqualsProto`, etc instead.
`ProtocolMessageEquals` and `ProtocolMessageEquiv` were redefined recently and
are now less tolerant of invalid protocol buffer definitions. In particular, if
you have a `foo.proto` that doesn't fully qualify the type of a protocol message
it references (e.g. `message<Bar>` where it should be `message<blah.Bar>`), you
will now get run-time errors like:
```
... descriptor.cc:...] Invalid proto descriptor for file "path/to/foo.proto":
... descriptor.cc:...] blah.MyMessage.my_field: ".Bar" is not defined.
```
If you see this, your `.proto` file is broken and needs to be fixed by making
the types fully qualified. The new definition of `ProtocolMessageEquals` and
`ProtocolMessageEquiv` just happen to reveal your bug.
