Patch for projects/index.html: unused string constants

["Joseph S. Myers" <jsm28 at cam dot ac dot uk>]

Since GCC now eliminates unused string constants (both in unused inline
functions and in dead code), the corresponding item from the old PROJECTS
file can go - except that part of the item relates to specifying sections
for string constants, AFAIK still outstanding and of value for the Linux
kernel's __initdata, so that bit must remain.  OK to commit the following
patch?
