I added the obsolete compat alias in Emacs 29 (and soon master) in the
end.  I'd rather not have anyone switching back and forth from Emacs
version confused about some command works in some version and not
others.  Can't really foresee any problems.  Also renamed it to
eglot-upgrade-eglot to make it more obvious.
