- Removed a missfeature that can cause performance problems when using

  an external garbage collector with ZEO.  When objects were deleted
  from a storage, invalidations were sent to clients. This makes no
  sense.  It's wildly unlikely that the other connections/clients have
  copies of the garbage.  In normal storage garbage collection, we
  don't send invalidations. There's no reason to send them when an
  external garbage collector is used.
