xQueueRemoveItem does not exist. (but would be useful)

This is a function I need in the case where I just want to pull an item off the queue and discard it - IE I dont want to copy it or do anything with it. This is a case where I am trying to maintain a filling level of buffers to 50% (remove for packets to dry up, or flood in ) . I pass a NULL pointer to QueueReceive() instead

I modified prvCopyDataFromQueue to not call MEMCPY if pvBuffer was NULL;

and in xQueueGenericReceive I also removed the assert check for pvBuffer == NULL

This of course could be dangerous for callers that do not intentionally set pvBuffer to NULL... I could copy the fn with some different params.

At the moment the convoluted asserts in some of the queue functions are designed to only allow you to pass in a null pointer if the queue is in fact a semaphore (semaphores not having any data associated with them - only the count is of interest).
