bug#18821: 25.0.50; Let pp-macroexpand-expression expand only once

Daniel Colascione already submitted a patch that provides
a macroexpand1.  And if that's not sufficient I also wrote my own.
The only reason I haven't installed it is because it would make a lot of
sense to reimplement `macroexpand' (in Elisp) on top of `macroexpand1',
but when I tried that, byte-compilation slowed down by about 5%, which
seemed excessive (especially since it reflects an even larger slowdown
of macroexpansion itself, tho I haven't measured that in more detail).
