cerf.3, cerfc.3, cerfcf.3, cerfcl.3, cerff.3. cerfl.3: Remove cerf(3) and links to it

These functions don't exist in glibc, aren't specified
in C99 or C11 (those standards merely reserve the names
for future use), cause package conflicts for libcerf
(http://apps.jcns.fz-juelich.de/doku/sc/libcerf),
which does provide implementations and man-pages for
these functions, and cause confusion for readers
who (not looking too closely at the page) wonder
where the glibc implementation is. Best to simply
remove this page and its links from man-pages.

.SH NAME
cerf, cerff, cerfl, cerfc, cerfcf, cerfcl \- complex error function
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <complex.h>
.sp
.BI "double complex cerf(double complex " z );
.br
.BI "float complex cerff(float complex " z );
.br
.BI "long double complex cerfl(long double complex " z );

Link with \fI\-lm\fP.
.SH DESCRIPTION
The (unimplemented) function
.BR cerf ()
is the complex version of the error function.
erf(z) = 2/sqrt(pi) * integral from 0 to z of exp(\-t*t) dt.
The function
.BR cerfc ()
is defined as cerfc(z) = 1\-cerf(z).
.\" must check 1/sqrt(2*pi) ?
.SH CONFORMING TO
The function names are reserved for future use in C99.
.SH AVAILABILITY
Not yet in glibc, as at version 2.19.
