This doesn't break the ABI. This is an API change only; no public functions
or variables were modified or removed; any application (besides bash, which
uses the new  APIs) linking against readline-8.1 will link successfully
against readline-8.2.

Bash is special, since I develop it and readline together. Bash is often,
as in this case, the first to use new public APIs.

In general, a specific version of bash requires the same version of
readline that it ships with in lib/readline.
