           Summary: Remove redundant "patrolmarks" right

Some wikis assign "patrolmarks" right to some group, but the right has no
effect: only users with "patrol" permission can see patrol marks, see for
instance es.wiki RC where the config is
    '*' => array( 'patrolmarks' => true ),
but I can't see any patrol mark. If this ever worked, it now doesn't, so the
config should be removed: seems to be trivial cleanup.

For the background: this behaviour makes sense because the others are only
bothered by it, however there's a comment by Krinkle in bug 37966 comment 2
which I don't understand (if the right is implied by "patrol" and doesn't work,
why assign it?). Siebrand mentioned confusion in bug 19067. At some point
FlaggedRevs made all editors see patrol marks, bug 24053 (but this changed
after April 2012, compare https://www.mediawiki.org/?oldid=526311
