Eglot: abandon track-changes.el

After a ~10 month period of using track-changes.el as a support library
for tracking buffer changes, I've decided to go back to manually using
after-change-functions and before-change-functions.

track-changes.el showed promise:

- One of the selling points was to turn complicated a-c-functions and
  b-c-functions into something easier, but that objectively didn't pan
  out, with "virtual" positions, one-shot hooks, and tracker
  registrations being abstractions and complications mastered by very
  few.

- The other selling point was the ability to log and detect those parts
  of Emacs that cheat the modification hooks and correct them.  As far
  as I can tell, only one such cheater -- quail.el -- was identified.
  But with little consequence, only an ugly workaround in eglot.el (now
  removed).

- After using Eglot daily for all this time, I didn't notice any
  decrease in desynchronization events.

- I did notice an increase in track-changes.el related bugs, some of
  which still baffle me and and hard to reproduce.  A common occurence
  is the '(cl-assertion-failed (memq id track-changes--trackers))'
  which is hard to track down.

- The library makes it more complicated to run Eglot on older Emacsen.

I might yet revisit this matter for the next version but this
experience has shown that it didn't bring the advantages I thought it
would, so I'm abandoning it until at least 1.19 is out.
