[Rd] 'mean' is not reverted in median() as NEWS says (PR#13731)

In NEWS, it says median.default() was altered in 2.8.1 to use sum() rather
than mean(), although it was still documented to use mean().
This caused problems for POSIXt objects, for which mean() but
not sum() makes sense, so the change has been reverted.

But it's not reverted yet.

That text is not in the NEWS file for 2.9.0. And the NEWS file that it 
is in is not for 2.9.0, and does not list that change under CHANGES IN 
R VERSION 2.9.0.
