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

[Nicholas Drozd]

Let's leave it as a defun for now then, and anyone who objects can
change it later (probably without any consequence). shr-tag-tt does
the same thing, deferring to shr-tag-code, so shr-tag-tt and
shr-tag-acronym can be changed together.
