remove unconditional gnureadline dependency

This is only really necessary on OS X, but the code to express that it a bit finicky, so I'll just include it unconditionally for now.
eek... maybe it was a bad idea to at gnureadline unconditionally...

This is also a problem on Windows where GNUreadline just won't install. It suggests using pyreadline instead, but I already have that installed.
workaround mentioned in that issue (working on El Capitan at least--master branch works, PyPI's version does not):
pip install https://github.com/ludwigschwardt/python-gnureadline/archive/master.zip --upgrade
Ok, this is now fixed as of ba246de
Thanks @braham-snyder and @ajsteven130 for pitching in.
Happy hacking!
