Remove dead code from OdfCanvas and OdfUtils

The removed code was intended to implement continue list functionality.
However this code no longer worked due to a regression introduced in commit 3ae9e0c.

As I have refactored this area and implemented the continue list
functionality in the new list styles class this old code is no longer
required.

The removed code in OdfCanvas also made use of the
getFirstNonWhitespaceChild function in OdfUtils and the removed code was
the last remaining usage of it. As it is preferable to make use of DOM API
calls which give us the desired behaviour such as
element.firstElementChild I have removed this function.
