eliminate brace and variable expansion in PATH search code
* kpse.cc (expansions): Delete static variable.
(IS_VAR_START, IS_VAR_CHAR, IS_VAR_BEGIN_DELIMITER,
IS_VAR_END_DELIMITER): Delete macros.
(kpse_var_expand, kpse_expand, brace_expand, expanding,
expanding_p, expand): Delete static functions.
(search): Call kpse_tilde_expand instead of kpse_expand.
(kpse_path_expand): Call kpse_path_expand on elements instead of
calling kpse_brace_expand on the entire path.
* NEWS: Note change.
