closing_plaintext option

Hello!

HTML::Parser 3.55 changes have broken `closing_plaintext' option.
But this option of no use anymore. Firefox since early 1.5 builds
interprets <plaintext> tag exactly as IE, Opera & HTML::Parser in
default state.

So we should either axe the option or restore it to working state if
someone wants to keep Firefox 1.0 compatibility mode.

What is broken and why would not the t/plaintext.t test fail if it was?

I don't see a problem removing this option if it is indeed broken.
It's unlikely to be used much.
