Add ascii-case-table and with-case-table.

76944:ceb213515795

*** New macro `define-obsolete-function-alias'.

This combines `defalias' and `make-obsolete'.

+++
*** New function `unsafep' determines whether a Lisp form is safe.

It returns nil if the given Lisp form can't possibly do anything
dangerous; otherwise it returns a reason why the form might be unsafe
(calls unknown function, alters global variable, etc.).

*** The new variable `auto-coding-functions' lets you specify functions
to examine a file being visited and deduce the proper coding system
for it.  (If the coding system is detected incorrectly for a specific
file, you can put a `coding:' tags to override it.)

---
*** The new function `merge-coding-systems' fills in unspecified aspects
of one coding system from another coding system.

*** New macro `with-case-table'

This executes the body with the case table temporarily set to a given
case table.

*** The new variable `ascii-case-table' stores the case table for the
ascii character set.  Language environments (such as Turkish) may
alter the case correspondences of ASCII characters.  This variable
saves the original ASCII case table before any such changes.
