[m-rev.] diff: don't define `_fltused'

[Fergus Henderson]

Estimated hours taken: 1
Branches: main

compiler/mlds_to_managed.m:
runtime/mercury_mcpp.cpp:
	Delete the definition of `_fltused'.  This was only there to
	work around a bug in a beta release of MSVC++, and it doesn't
	seem to be needed anymore (I suppose the bug must have been fixed).
	Also defining `_fltused' causes problems for running Mercury
	on Portable.NET.
