Hi emacs devs,

I am attaching a patch to the manual for emacs 29 that removes from the
text a reference to the `kbd' function when creating a key binding in
Lisp. The example that follows is correct (i.e. it works for me), but
the explanation seems outdated.

I think that this change qualifies as "small", but let me know if you
think I need to assign copyright.
