doc: remove references to non-fork platforms.
* txr.1: Remove references to limitations in open-process on platforms which don't have fork. It's simply not implemented on those platforms at all any more. This documentation referred to a MinGW port of TXR which has not been maintained in many years. Also remove text which says that open-subprocess is only available on platforms with fork.
