gh-136087: Remove \r from documented os.linesep values

• Issue: Outdated os.linesep docs in os.py #136087

Hi, I looked into this a bit.

The value \r used to exist when the variable was added in e9387ea.

It was removed in eca20b6. It was a merge from subversion, but I am 99% percent confident it was a part of this change:

      Remove references to platform 'mac'
    
      The 'mac' platform (that is, os.name == 'mac') was used for the MacOS 9 port,
      which is no longer supported (as of Python 2.4 IIRC).

Wikipedia states that \r was used in Classic Mac OS to represent a newline [1]. The page for Classic Mac OS says Mac OS 9 was the last version. This matches with the subversion commit message.

Therefore, your patch is correct. Good catch!
