📄 Description

Summary of the Pull Request

This removes support for the the VT52 cursor movement operations, in preparation for PR #3271, since the cursor back operation conflicts with the VT100 IND sequence, which we're planning to add. Eventually these ops will be brought back as part of a proper VT52 implementation, when appropriately activated by the DECANM mode.

Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

The operations were removed from the OutputStateMachineEngine, and their associated test cases were removed from StateMachineExternalTest. There is no real loss of functionality here, since these sequences were never valid as implemented.

Validation Steps Performed

I've just tested manually to confirm that the sequences no longer work.
