    Remove keyboard anachronisms from tutorial
    
    * etc/tutorials/TUTORIAL: Don't keep referring to EDIT as if it were a
    common name for the Meta key; since a few decades back it's labelled
    Alt (or Option or ⌥ but those keys usually also have 'alt' engraved on
    them).  Similarly, CTL is practically extinct and not worth
    mentioning.
