Remove readline support 
Lix cannot be built with GNU readline, and we would "rather not" be GPL.

Support for building Lix with readline instead of editline has been removed. readline support hasn't worked for a long time (attempting to use it would lead to build errors) and would make Lix subject to the GPL if it did work. In the future, we're hoping to replace editline with rustyline for improved ergonomics in the nix repl.
