[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Remove Ferite parser from c.c (PR #3075)

[Jiří Techet]

This language seems officially dead (last release from 2004, its
"master site" link to www.ferite.org linking to a porn page, other
mirrors dead and nearly no downloads from the Sourceforge site and those
few are just probably from some bots). RIP.

Since we should try reduce differences against uctags and this language
isn't worth submitting to uctags, I'd suggest to remove the support
of its parser from c.c.

The filetype can still stay as it doesn't mean any maintenance cost for
us.

For reference, Ferite parser was introduced in:

010d6581e5d567c5479f2ca643922a0ef6ccadf2

@eht16 I don't know the context why this language was introduced to Geany - I assume at the time you added it it was a cool language to play with but I don't expect you use it these days.
