Revert "Make revert-buffer preserve buffer-readedness"

This reverts commit fcae435f598471a2911641412125c5ac4f73559f.

This leads to problems when reverting from a file that's changed
readedness externally.

-** 'revert-buffer' will now preserve buffer-readedness.
-It previously switched the read-only flag off.
-
 ** 'electric-indent-mode' now also indents inside strings and comments,
 (unless the indentation function doesn't, of course).
 To recover the previous behavior you can use:
