Obsolete routines

Several routines exist in CHR purely for historical reasons. These routines are obsolete and are only provided by the CHR library because existing Starlink code may depend upon them. They should not be used in any new software.

CHR_EQUAL
-- Return whether two strings are equal.
CHR_INDEX
-- Return the index of a substring within a string.
CHR_MOVE
-- Move one string into another.
CHR_SIZE
-- Return the declared length of a string.
