Florent Rougon 889c1bf0cb Remove alignLocaliserWithRunway(): deemed to be a "misfeature" :-)
In the thread at
<https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/flightgear-devel/thread/87tw7sm5uw.fsf%40frougon.crabdance.com/#msg35673402>,
it was decided that alignLocaliserWithRunway() was a bad idea overall,
and should just be removed. The feature was already disabled by default
in recent releases via defaults.xml (since FlightGear 2017.1, precisely
FGData commit ea76305e42fd245e79a2b5bb569c8c61161f5721). Remove the code
entirely now.

The properties /sim/navdb/localizers/auto-align and
/sim/navdb/localizers/auto-align-threshold-deg have no effect anymore,
you may remove them from your configs if you somehow set them.

This goes with FGData commit 6dd9f6e8d962b00a1ccddc6af487c404cc935b92.

In case someone wanted to reuse the removed code, please consider
Szymon's proposed change at
<https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/flightgear/merge-requests/76/>,
which was:

,----
| Fixed bug in alignLocaliserWithRunway when building NavCacheDb
|
| The position of the localizer was converted to a distance from
| the displaced threshold, and then back to the posistion on the
| centerline, but the origin of the second computation was
| non-displaced threshold.
