Remove Readline library integration

This removes the GNU Readline library integration and relies on the
libedit library if present. Issue is that there are several ext/readline
libraries and GNU Readline license (GNU GPL 3) is not compatible with
the PHP license. There was a similar attempt to fix this (phpGH-3823) and
now fix continues here.

Changes:
- `--with-libedit` configure option removed (only `--with-readline`
  stays)

This also fixes the phpdbg readline integration on *nix systems (using
libedit library) for history (up/down keys and similar nice features).
