Text properties are added by common completion frameworks, and serve no
purpose when stored in 'recentf-save-file', waste space, and slow loading
the file.

I did not add this to NEWS as I consider this non-user visible.  Happy to
add this if the maintainers disagree.

I've been running recentf with 'substring-no-properties' for ages and
others should benefit, by default.
