This is somewhat problematic, since we have no good place for such
"temporary" documentation.  What we did instead is that Emacs 30
suggests to use major-mode-remap-alist as the first, and in most
places the only, way of preferring the tree-sitter based modes.  Both
NEWS and the user manual mention only this method.

So the support for changing the preference by loading a file is
already not advertised except in the commentary to c-ts-mode.el etc.
It is basically kept for users who remember doing that in Emacs 29.

Is that good enough?
