Remove _mathtext.Node.grow.

anntzer · anntzer · commit 2ad10dedbe79 · 2022-02-17T14:13:38.000+01:00
It has never been used, and the implementation was in fact buggy (if one
calls `shrink` many times beyond num_size_levels, `.size` would continue
to decrease while `.width` would not; if one then calls `grow`, `.size`
and `.width` would then both increase, but get out of sync with one
another).  I can't find a reference to grow() in the TeXbook or "TeX the
program" either(?)
