bug#12982: 24.2.90; Removed autoload not mentioned in news.

[Kim F. Storm]

For ages, I have had these lines in my .emacs:

(setq hippie-expand-verbose nil)
(setq hippie-expand-try-functions-list
      (cons 'try-expand-dabbrev-visible hippie-expand-try-functions-list))

With 24.2.90, these now trigger a bug on load:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable hippie-expand-try-functions-list)
  (cons (quote try-expand-dabbrev-visible) hippie-expand-try-functions-list)
  ...

Comparing hippie-exp.el, I see that the autoload clauses have been
removed for these variables -- obviously related to this change:

  2012-09-29  Glenn Morris  <rgm@gnu.org>

	* hippie-exp.el (hippie-expand-try-functions-list)
	(hippie-expand-verbose, hippie-expand-dabbrev-skip-space)
	(hippie-expand-dabbrev-as-symbol, hippie-expand-no-restriction)
	(hippie-expand-max-buffers, hippie-expand-ignore-buffers)
	(hippie-expand-only-buffers): No need to autoload defcustoms.

At least this should be listed as an incompatible lisp change in 24.3 ...

I put the autoload for that one back.
The others no longer being autoloaded doesn't seem NEWSworthy to me, but
feel free to add a mention of it if you like.
