Subject: cl-lib warnings (was: bug#60102: Move gv-expander of substring to cl-lib)

My match was indeed motivated by the `tar-bar.el` code, but it doesn't
fix the `tab-bar.el` code, indeed.

The problem of the `tab-bar.el` code is (well, was, since I changed it
in the mean time) that `(setf (substring ...) ...)` needs `cl-lib` but
`tab-bar.el` doesn't `(require 'cl-lib)`.

It is compounded by the fact that `cl-lib` is preloaded in
`src/bootstrap-emacs`, so we don't get a compiler warning about
the possibility that `cl--set-substring` won't be available at runtime,
since `tab-bar.el` is preloaded and hence compiled by `src/bootstrap-emacs`.

And even if you try to recompile it with `src/emacs`, you still
won't get a compilation warning if you're using the native compiler,
because the native compiler itself requires `cl-lib`.

IOW, it's becoming difficult to be warned by the compiler about missing
`(require 'cl-lib)` :-(

Looking at historical evolution, I think the sanest way to fix this is
to preload `cl-lib`.
