tmac/an.tmac: Redefine `R` as string.
* tmac/an.tmac (R): Drop macro definition, which implements a hack for
people who try to use "R" as a font style macro. This doesn't seem to

hack produces is responsible for suppression of the mistake).
Retaining it interferes with the "nop"-ification of this macro file.
* NEWS: Add item.
