bug fix for files.el change 1.633 (dired-directory not defined)

[Karl Chen]

The recent change to files.el breaks `find-alternate-file' until dired.el is
loaded. It uses the variable `dired-directory' which is defined only in
dired.el. This patch below fixes it.

Putting an autoload cookie on that variable is a cleaner fix.
