Remove readline components from Python 3

Takuya Noguchi requested to merge tnir/omnibus-gitlab:python3-without-readline into master

What does this MR do?

Removes readline components (libedit) from Python 3.

Bundled Python 3 has been only used for rst2html command of docutils to render reST files (.rst): gitlab-org/gitlab-markup's rest2html. Within usage of python in rest2html, readline feature of Python is not required.

Originally GNU Readline was introduced in !888 (merged), and was replaced with libedit in !1565 (merged).
