bug#2853: 23.0.92; enabling uniquify is weird

When one wants to turn on a user-level feature, I think it's usual that
one can do either M-x foo-mode, or M-x customize-variable RET foo-blah RET.

Uniquify, though doesn't seem to support either of these methods -- there
is no uniquify-mode, and customize-variable does not know about
`uniquify-buffer-name-style' unless the user manually loads the package.

There's a function `toggle-uniquify-buffer-names', but it seems vaguely
non-standard, and is apparently intended mostly for the menu-bar.

I'm not sure exactly what the right thing to do is, but I think at
least, we should ensure that uniquify-buffer-name-style is somehow
autoloaded so customize-variable knows about it...
