godoc: declare small victory over the punched card tyranny

At least inside this one package.

It's because golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc no longer has CLI support
as of golang/go#25443, it is now only a web server. Luckily, browsers
that display HTML pages are not constrained to the fixed width of
punched cards. On the contrary, they seem to embrace a wide variety of
arbitrary page widths, ranging from narrow to wide. This is in part due
to the proliferation of internet access on device form factors such as
the mobile phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop.

So the punchCardWidth constant is now unused and can be removed. This
is a followup to CL 141397 that removed most of the CLI support code,
including the function comment_textFunc, which was its only user. Same
goes for containsOnlySpace.

Updates golang/go#25443
