Emacs 29's NEWS says: "The autoload.el library is now obsolete."
We should therefore explicitly 'require it in order to have the
eclass machinery work.
Fix build failures with e.g. exec-path-from-shell, flycheck:
```
* Generating autoload file for GNU Emacs ...
Error: void-function (batch-update-autoloads)
debug-early-backtrace()
debug-early(error (void-function batch-update-autoloads))
batch-update-autoloads()
command-line-1(("--eval" "(setq make-backup-files nil)" "--eval" "(setq generated-autoload-file (expand-file-name \"exec-path-from-shell-autoloads.el\"))" "-f" "batch-update-autoloads" "."))
command-line()
normal-top-level()
Symbol’s function definition is void: batch-update-autoloads
* elisp-make-autoload-file: batch-update-autoloads failed
[ !! ]
* ERROR: app-emacs/exec-path-from-shell-1.12::gentoo failed (compile phase):
* (no error message)
```
