Warning for psql history not supported

Here is an applied patch that suppresses psql \s help display for
platforms like Win32 that don't typically install with readline.
It also prints and error if you try to access it.

But "history is not supported on this platform" is not really true, is
it?

No, not really, but that's what we say when we can't create a symlink so
I used the same wording. What would be the proper wording? I couldn't
find another example.
