Don't require CL at runtime.

(savehist-xemacs): Remove.
(savehist-coding-system): Use utf-8 if available, regardless of religion.
(savehist-no-conversion): Use (featurep 'xemacs).
(savehist-load): Check existence of start-itimer rather than XEmacs.
Use an idle timer.
(savehist-process-for-saving): Replace use of CL funs `subseq' and
`delete-if-not'.
