Revert "Astronomical Almanac 2020 Pluto elements (#2 #22)" 

This reverts commit 26e5d1abc3.  It broke
Pluto’s motion, which users noticed as a big jump at the dates where we
switch from the short-term solution to these long-term orbital elements.
(Reported to the mailing list on groups.io: thank you, Maxime Gommeaux!)
