libsensors: Drop support for algorithm names.
I2C algorithms no longer have names in Linux 2.6, and anyway they are
implementation details user-space doesn't care about. No third party
application is known to have ever used this particular feature of
libsensors. "sensord" and "sensors" no longer do.
