[Openvpn-devel] Remove automatic service

From: Selva Nair <selva.nair@gmail.com>

This has been replaced by openvpnserv2 since 2.4.0 and we have
stopped setting up this service in the installer since 2.5.0.

Get rid of the unused code. The mechanics of supporting multiple
services with the same executable is retained for possible future use.

For backwards compatibility, the command line option -instance
is unchanged as "-instance <name> id" although <name>="interactive"
is the only supported value now.

Hi,

Patch looks fine, apart missing change to VS project:

I checked MSI and NSIS installers in openvpn-build. MSI installer
doesn't touch automatic service so we're good. NSIS installer script,
however, has a code which
installs "OpenVPNServiceLegacy", so we will have to update it.

I built and tested an NSIS installer with that patch and smoke-tested
on Windows 10. If Gert can modify VS project with the above diff,
consider it as an ACK from me.

Your patch has been applied to the master branch.

I have stared at it for a bit (looks good) and test-compiled it on
Ubuntu 18 / MinGW (succeeded).  I have not tested it (thanks Lev).

I have added the vcxproj diff from Lev's mail, because that is
"sort of obvious" if a source file goes away completely.  We just 
forget all the time :-)
