Removal of 'multiprocess'

[HenrikBengtsson]

Last updated: 2023-08-18

The following packages will either produce a check ERROR or WARNING when I remove defunct multiprocess from future. They were not affected when multiprocess was made defunct. All package maintainers have been notified.

This is the final cleanup step that was started in Issue #546.
