[1.0 release prep] Remove tilde expansion discipline

Browse source 
Defining a .sh.tilde.get or .sh.tilde.set discipline function to
extend tilde expansion works well as long as the discipline
function doesn't get interrupted (e.g. with Crtl+C) or produce an
error message. Either of those will cause the shell to become
unstable and crash.

This feature is now removed from the 1.0 branch as it is not ready
for prime time. It can return to a release branch if/when we manage
to fix it on the master branch.

2004 undocumented attempt to add this functionality via a .sh.tilde
command, which never worked and crashed the shell. See the manual for
details on the new method.
