Unify on encoding

[Stefan Monnier]

Is there any objection to the patch below ?

It turns on unify-8859-on-encoding-mode by default (in loadup.el) which has
the effect of allowing a wider choice of coding-systems when saving a file.
It should not have any other effect (i.e. if you choose one of the
coding-systems which would be available even without unification-on-encoding,
the resulting output is exactly the same).

With it, you can load a latin-9 file and save it as latin-1 or utf-8.

A second request (but separate) is whether there is any objection to removing
the ability to turn off unify-8859-on-encoding-mode.
