meson: Drop readline kludge

Both FreeBSD ports and Homebrew on macOS have readline 8.1 now,
and that version contains a correct pkg-config file so the kludge
is no longer necessary.

-  # As of 8.0, upstream readline.pc has -I${includedir}/readline among

-  # because ${includedir} is already part of the default include path,

-  # drop the kludge and rely on pkg-config alone on those platforms.
