While preparing a fix for #59457 I discovered that invoking vc-print-log
already makes a call to kill-all-local-variables, in vc-setup-buffer.
So calling it in vc-log-internal-common too isn't right.

In other words, the place to fix this is in vc-setup-buffer, which
already has special handling for default-directory.

I've replaced the fix with one in vc-setup-buffer, and also fixed #59457.
