For review by anyone.

It has been five years and three releases since the changes that
caused the addition of the old_term_parser library to the extras
were made; that is more than sufficient time for any code affected
by them to be updated.

(I've omitted the parts of the diff for the extras/old_term_parser
directory since they are just stuff being deleted.)
