bug#58580: 29.0.50; Ahead-of-time compilation for a few more files?

[Lars Ingebrigtsen]

I wonder whether we should AOT a few more files by default.  I think we
should probably aim for a typical user not seeing compilation firing off
on normal usage, but what's "normal usage" anyway?

In any case, "emacs -Q" and then `C-x C-b' gives me this:

Compiling /home/larsi/src/emacs/nativecomp/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-lib.el...
Compiling /home/larsi/src/emacs/nativecomp/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-extra.el...
Compiling /home/larsi/src/emacs/nativecomp/lisp/help-mode.el...
Compiling /home/larsi/src/emacs/nativecomp/lisp/emacs-lisp/gv.el...
Compiling /home/larsi/src/emacs/nativecomp/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el...
Compiling /home/larsi/src/emacs/nativecomp/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-seq.el...
Compiling /home/larsi/src/emacs/nativecomp/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx.el...
Compiling /home/larsi/src/emacs/nativecomp/lisp/emacs-lisp/subr-x.el...
Compiling /home/larsi/src/emacs/nativecomp/lisp/emacs-lisp/icons.el...
Compiling /home/larsi/src/emacs/nativecomp/lisp/emacs-lisp/warnings.el...
Compiling /home/larsi/src/emacs/nativecomp/lisp/display-line-numbers.el...
Compilation finished.

This suggests to me that we should AOT a bunch of these libraries
(rx/subr-x/etc) by default that are virtually impossible to use Emacs
without.

Any opinions?
