Fix electric-pair-delete-adjacent-pairs in modes binding backspace.

* lisp/elec-pair.el (electric-pair-backward-delete-char): Delete.
(electric-pair-backward-delete-char-untabify): Delete.
(electric-pair-mode-map): Bind backspace to a menu item filtering
a new `electric-pair-delete-pair' command.
(electric-pair-delete-pair): New command.
