Remove configure's check for rl_completion_append_character.
The comment for PGAC_READLINE_VARIABLES says "Readline versions < 2.1
don't have rl_completion_append_character". It seems certain that such
versions are extinct in the wild, though; for sure there are none in the
buildfarm. Libedit has had this variable for at least twenty years too.
Also, tab-complete.c's behavior without it is quite unfriendly, since
we'll emit a space even when completion fails; but we've had no
complaints about that.
Therefore, let's assume this variable is always there, and drop the
configure check to save a few build cycles.
