        Remove the "def" indentation heuristic

        * lisp/emacs-lisp/lisp-mode.el (lisp-indent-function): Don't
        indent function calls with names that that start with "def"
        specially (bug#43329).

and the corresponding etc/NEWS entry:

    ** 'def' indentation changes.
    In 'emacs-lisp-mode', forms with a symbol with a name that start with
    "def" have been automatically indented as if they were 'defun'-like
    forms, for instance:

        (defzot 1
          2 3)

    This heuristic has now been removed, and all functions/macros that
    want to be indented this way have to be marked with

        (declare (indent defun))

    or the like.  If the function/macro definition itself can't be
    changed, the indentation can also be adjusted by saying something
    like:

        (put 'defzot 'lisp-indent-function 'defun)
