Tweak input method management

- Stop requiring quail, since all functions I need are autoloaded.

- Reformat quail-define-package clause ala TeX.
  Using the "UTF-8" language environment means the input method now
  shows up on C-h L UTF-8.

- Since I might define more input methods, use a more "specific" name.

- Move comment about user bindings where it belongs.

- Make a proper defun, so that which-key can tell me which binding
  activates which method.

- Note that docstrings could cross-reference input methods, if not for
  help-xref-mule-regexp.
