ChangeLog: Clarify old item.
While I haven't exhaustively tested, it doesn't look like `asciify` ever
performed any operation at all on strings or macros that hadn't
previously been diversions, and my heavy refactoring of `asciify`
internals affected only member functions in the `node` class, so I
didn't touch that nilpotence. It's a little hard to say for sure
because only in post-1.23.0 development is the `pm` request capable of
minutely examining macro, string, and diversion contents.

complete, recursive operation. There is no reason _not_ to do
this because the whole point of `asciify` is to convert nodes
back into some form of text; the idiomatic application (and only
- one, as seen in "om.tmac" and "e.tmac") is to convert strings or
- diversions into PDF bookmarks or HTML URLs that are embedded in
- a document as metadata or markup, not as formatted text.
