Schedule net/pchar for deletion.
I am the upstream author of this software. pchar was originally
developed in a time before store-and-forward switches were common on
LANs. Its algorithms assumed that there is only one packet queue per IP
hop. Almost every modern network violates this assumption; thus pchar
will return incorrect results in the vast majority of environments where
it could be used today. In addition, I have not supported this software
for over ten years. For these reasons I am scheduling this port for
removal.
