The function remains, but returns just the value of `non-essential'. Its
main use is to suppress opening an otherwise not established connection
in `tramp-maybe-open-connection'. Most of the other calls will be
removed.

Tramp won't use any heuristic anymore in order to decide, whether a new
connection could be opened, or not. It is up to the completion packages
to use this variable properly.

(In my ongoing tests I have reverted already setting `non-essential' in
`completion--nth-completion').
