diagnostics: no longer pretty-print rules in error messages, carets suffice

* src/gram.c (grammar_rules_useless_report): Let -fcaret handle the pretty-printing of the guilty rules. (rule_print): Inline in its only use. * tests/conflicts.at, tests/existing.at, tests/reduce.at, * tests/regression.at: Adjust. * NEWS: Document.
