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.

I agree on turning on unify-8859-on-encoding-mode by default.

As for removing the ability of turning off
unify-8859-on-encoding-mode, I'm not sure.

If we remove it, that means all Emacs codes can assume
unify-8859-on-encoding-mode unconditionally.  If that
decreases some cost of maintaining some code, I agree with
removing it.

If keeping it just means that keeping a few variables and
functions, we don't have to remove it now.  We can remove it
after confirming that there's no case that
unify-8859-on-encoding-mode does something bad through the
pretest period of 21.3.
