Remove non bug bug status in 1992/westley

Browse Source 
This 'bug' was not actually a bug but an improper reading of the author's
remarks. Upon another read later on (today) it became clear what
the author was getting at. It is not what happens upon execution but
rather the layout of the code: if the alternate code (the US specific
version) is a one line of 160 characters and your terminal wraps at 80
columns it will spell out (over two lines):

    mainland America

The westley.alt2.c is exactly this. It can be compiled if one has gcc or
a compiler that does not have the limitations of arg types to main()
that clang has by using make alt2 (not make alt as it would fail for
clang but people might want to use the alternate code and in fact the
try.sh script does this) but it has the original limitation that one
needs to have a terminal that wraps at 80 columns (since it has to be
the same length of code). But as that size is not that common nowadays
(and in most cases one would have to resize their window) it's mostly
for show.

Updated manifest, rebuilt .entry.json and index.html.

Updated bugs.md and rebuilt bugs.html.
