Subject: bug#36475: [PATCH] Handle 'abbr' and 'acronym' tags in shr.el

I came across some `abbr` tags in the wild: check out the first
paragraph of http://mindprod.com/jgloss/unmainobfuscation.html. EWW
doesn't handle those, so here is a patch for that.

My understanding is that there is also an `acronym` tag which has been
deprecated in favor of `abbr`. I figured we might as well cover that
one too just in case.

I picked the `diary` face for abbreviations, but that choice didn't
have a lot of thought put into it. Whoever commits can choose
something else.

Let's try to get this merged <abbr title="as soon as possible">ASAP</abbr>.
