CMake: remove obsolete compiler bug tests

The bugs

  DEAL_II_TEMPL_SPEC_FRIEND_BUG
  DEAL_II_CONST_MEMBER_DEDUCTION_BUG
  DEAL_II_BIND_NO_CONST_OP_PARENTHESES

do not trigger for any compiler we currently use (including gcc-4.9 up
to gcc-10, clang-4 up to clang-10 and corresponding apple clang, MSVC
2017 and 2019, icc 19*)

The bug

  DEAL_II_MEMBER_ARRAY_SPECIALIZATION_BUG

triggers only on MSVC 2017 and 2019 but the preprocessor macro is not
used in the library any more

-# In some cases, we would like to name partial specializations
-# as friends. However, the standard forbids us to do so. But
-# then, we can declare the general template as a friend, and
-# at least gcc extends the friendship to all specializations
-# of the templates, which is not what the standard says.
-#
-# With other compilers, most notably cxx, this does not work.
-# In this case, we can make individual specializations friends,
-# which in turn gcc rejects. So check, whether this is possible.
-#
-# The respective clause in the standard is 14.5.3.1, which gives
-# this example:
-#   template<class T> class task {
-#     friend class task<int>;
-#   };
