perl 5.8.0 introduced the experimental reserved attribute :unique for use with
threading.  It seems now to be universally unused and has been marked as
deprecated since perl 5.10.0.

We should rip it out.

I started to do this but found that there is code for it in threads, which is
upstream cpan.  I described this earlier in:

  http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2013/06/msg203084.html

Let's remove the code from perl and the perl core dist and turn it into just
another unknown attribute.
