[PATCH 06/13] lib/readline/doc/history.3: Drop microtypography.

[G. Branden Robinson]

Now that we're using a correct caret/circumflex/hat glyph on
modern typesetters (and terminals with a Unicode repertoire), drop the
thicket of partial-line motion and type size-altering escape sequences,
certain to frighten and confuse any unfrozen caveman page authors.

I expect this to slightly regress the quality of output on AT&T nroff
and troff (DWB and Solaris 10) when sending output to a line printer or
other device capable of half-line motions, and to typesetters.

The dropped escape sequences have never had effect on character-cell
video terminals.
