    devel/libnotify: fix build with lld 17

    Building devel/libnotify with lld 17 results in the following link
    error:

    This is because lld 17 defaults to errors when undefined symbols are
    referenced in linker version scripts.

    Apparently the __progname and environ symbols (which usually come from
    libc, not libnotify.so) were explicitly added in:

        Fix build with old binutils.

        Somehow linker scripts should not hide __progname and environ from
symbols.

        Reported by:    kib

    but it is unclear what the original error was, or how old "old" is, and
    there is no reference to a PR.

    In any case, I think the patch-libnotify_libnotify.map file can simply
    be deleted now.
