11 year old minigolf.hlp file, broken display since wine-0.9.61

MINIGOLF.HLP is displayed incorrectly in 1.0 and 1.1.4, whereas
0.9.16 and 0.9.57 worked. More precisely, winhlp32 displays roughly 6
odd chars instead of all text.  The 6 index entries are shown correctly,
though.

An educated-guess regression testing (reading about richedit while looking for
duplicates) located the cause between wine-0.9.60 and .61 in commit
9b24f2a0507d173e65641649a70fced300afab26 bad winhelp: make richedit the default
for rendering, on 2008-04-28.
This version still had the ability to switch renderer via $WINHELP_RICHEDIT,
which got lost in "Get rid of the old internal rendering" on 2008-05-01. Via
this variable, I could very that this transition indeed causes the bug.
