When looking at bibretrieve at MELPA

  https://melpa.org/#/bibretrieve

it depends on auctex-11.87 which is from around 2014.  Same for the
auctex-latexmk package from

  https://melpa.org/#/auctex-latexmk

The texfrag package at MELPA

  https://melpa.org/#/texfrag

depends on auctex-11.90.2.  So I guess the auctex versions popping up
there are the minimal versions required by some package.

I know we've had some `make-obsolete' calls where the WHEN argument was
missing which produced a `wrong-number-of-arguments' error in at least
the current emacs master but those are all fixed in auctex 13.0.x (not
sure which x but definitely for x in {8,9}).

Maybe the errors come from something different.  AUCTeX 13 has some
incompatible changes because we've migrated it to `lexical-binding',
possibly including signature changes where there is now a different
arity.
