Remove unused `skip_double_compressed_messages`

This `skip_double_compressed_messages` flag was added in https://github.com/dpkp/kafka-python/pull/755 in
order to fix https://github.com/dpkp/kafka-python/issues/718.

However, grep'ing through the code, it looks like it this is no longer
used anywhere and doesn't do anything.

So removing it.
