histedit: remove superfluous echo() and endwin() calls (issue6859)

ncurses patchlevel 20231111 started returning an error from endwin() if
called twice without a intervening screen update.

Per Sven Joachim in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1058041#17: "AFAICS,
invoking curses.echo() and curses.endwin() is superfluous
because curses.wrapper already does that for you, and calling
curses.endwin() twice throws an error with the newer ncurses.  Removing
those two lines should fix the problem."

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
