Remove EMACS_OUTQSIZE+sleep hack.

* dispnew.c (update_frame_1): Remove hack for terminals slower
than 2400 bps, which throttled Emacs by having it sleep.  This
code hasn't worked since at least 2007, when the multi-tty stuff
was added, and anyway those old terminals are long dead.
* systty.h (EMACS_OUTQSIZE): Remove; unused.  The macro isn't used even
without the dispnew.c change, as dispnew.c doesn't include systty.h.

        Fix data-loss with --version (Bug#9574).
        * emacs.c (close_output_streams): Use strerror, not emacs_strerror,
        as we can't assume that emacs_strerror is initialized, and strerror
