Subject: [PATCH] [Blocks] Remove a block callback validation that's apparently
 too eager.

The validation verifies that the function pointer for a block callback is the
same the return value from the method's
MethodInfo.MethodHandle.GetFunctionPointer() method.

In actual code, it's equivalent to validating that the following always prints "Equal: true":

```cs
[UnmanagedCallersOnly]
public static void Invoke () {}

static void Test ()
{
    delegate* unmanaged<void> fptr1 = &Invoke;
    IntPtr fptr2 = GetType ().GetMethod ("Invoke").MethodHandle.GetFunctionPointer ();
    Console.WriteLine ($"fptr1: 0x{((IntPtr) fptr1).ToString ("x")}");
    Console.WriteLine ($"fptr2: 0x{fptr2.ToString ("x")}");
    Console.WriteLine ($"Equal: ((IntPtr) fptr1) == fptr2}"); // prints "Equal: true" for me
}
```

However, this isn't documented, and some feedback indicates it's certainly not
a valid assumption for CoreCLR:

And there's also a customer running into this validation, apparently withou cause:

So just remove it.
