 r42183 was incomplete; this should be fixed by r42210.

 awaits translation to python?

 The consensus was that it wasn't worth maintaining. In 7.0, r.mapcalc uses
 G_parser(), so it can be run directly from the GUI without requiring a
 wrapper.

 module in the wxGUI?

 r42183 had two parts: fixing the GUI menu, and cosmetic changes to
 r.mapcalc. The latter included renaming the input= option to file=, but
 overlooked the fact that it synthesises "input=-" when run without
 arguments (to preserve the historical behaviour). The change broke this
 behaviour; r42210 reinstates it.
