The __parent_pointer type alias was marked to be removed in d163ab3.
At that time, still had uses of __parent_pointer as a local variable type in operator[] and at()

Those uses were removed in 4a2dd31, which refactored __find_equal to return a pair instead of using an out parameter

However, the typedef in and the alias in __tree were left behind

This patch removes the unused typedef from and the __parent_pointer alias from __tree

Changes

The __parent_pointer type alias was marked to be removed in d163ab3.
At that time, <map> still had uses of __parent_pointer as a local variable type in operator[] and at()

Those uses were removed in 4a2dd31, which refactored __find_equal to return a pair instead of using an out parameter

However, the typedef in <map> and the alias in __tree were left behind

This patch removes the unused typedef from <map> and the __parent_pointer alias from __tree
