Remove "profile" mask support as per PMS 5.2.7.
Since this is considered a "legacy" feature by PMS 5.2.7, there shouldn't be any need to support it anymore. Profiles can use package.mask to get similar results, and package.mask additionally allows for comments which are conveniently displayed by emerge. This will fix bug #377907.
