multiprocesing.eclass: Remove redirect_alloc_fd

Remove the redirect_alloc_fd function that is no longer used since
the removal of multijob* functions. The function is complex, has little
potential use and an equivalent functionality is built-in in newer bash
versions, making it completely unnecessary for EAPI 6.

Closes: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/6696
