Remove VerifyDetachedSignatureAndSaltedHash and SaltedHashSpecifier (#196)

This commit removes the openpgp.VerifyDetachedSignatureAndSaltedHash function and the packet.SaltedHashSpecifier as they are not required anymore. They were introduced for verifying the headers in cleartext messages. However, in the latest crypto refresh specification, cleartext message headers were dropped.
