Revert "support REP (repeat) escape sequence"

This reverts commit e8392b282c2eaa28725241a9612804fb55113da4.

There is currently a bug in older ncurses versions (like on OpenBSD) where a
fix for a bug with REP is not backported yet. Most likely in tty/tty_update.c:

Noticed while using lynx (which uses ncurses/curses).
To reproduce using lynx: echo "Z0000000" | lynx -stdin

or using the program:

int
main(void)
{
	WINDOW *win;
	win = initscr();

	printw("Z0000000");

	refresh();

	sleep(5);

	return 0;
}

This prints "ZZZZZZZ" (incorrectly).
