Remove redundant POLYESTER_LOADED flag

When Polyester is loaded, RecursiveArrayToolsFastBroadcastPolyesterExt
defines more-specific methods for AbstractVectorOfSArray that win
dispatch, so the base ext's AbstractVectorOfArray fallback is only
reached when Polyester is not loaded. The flag check was redundant.
