Indeed, the `unload-feature` function isn't designed quite for that, so
we'd want to use another function for it, but it would basically mean
extract the bulk of unload-feature into a new function and use it for
both unload-feature as well as the package.el deactivation.

Unloading a <pkg>-autoload.el should be a fairly unusual occurrence, so
most users should be unaffected.
