Remove Erlang-specific compilation error regexp

The purpose of this regexp is to ensure that, when invoking the Erlang
compiler inside Emacs through M-x compile, any error messages be
turned into links jumping to the right line in the right source file.
However, it seems like this works out of the box in modern Emacsen,
and furthermore, using a non-standard regexp inhibits jumping to a
certain column when this is provided by the compiler.
