[PATCH 29/30] INSTALL: Fix stale claim regarding BSD padding.


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [PATCH 29/30] INSTALL: Fix stale claim regarding BSD padding.
Date: Sat, 8 Jun 2024 07:20:39 -0500

  it was never part of a CSRG BSD distribution.
* NetHack migrated to terminfo-style padding in `tputs()` calls in 2019.
