"Emacs" as the application class -> "XEmacs" as the application
class, mention the old resource class determination behaviour, and
how one can temporarily re-instate it.

* device-x.c (x_init_device): Only do the old application class
determination behaviour if the
USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS environment variable is
set; otherwise, we use XEmacs.
* device-x.c (vars_of_device_x): Update the docstring for
x-emacs-application-class.
* frame.c: default-frame-name is now "XEmacs", unless the old X11
resources behaviour has been requested.

+** "XEmacs" used as X11 application class
+
+Previously, XEmacs checked the X11 resource database for resources starting

+otherwise using "Emacs" for backward compatibility. Because of divergence
+between the reseource GNU Emacs and XEmacs use, this has been changed; if

+USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS in your environment before starting

+If this variable is nil on startup, the application uses `XEmacs'. Versions

+resources beginning with that string existed, and `Emacs' otherwise, for
+greated backward compatibility. However, this has always tended to conflict

+restore it in a post-21.5.21 XEmacs by setting the
+USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS environment variable to some value,
+but in the medium and long term, you should migrate your X resources.

This can be overridden by arguments to `make-frame'. This must be a string.
This is used primarily for picking up X resources, and is *not* the title
of the frame. (See `frame-title-format'.)
+
+Previous to 21.5.21, this defaulted to `emacs'; since that release, it has
+defaulted to `XEmacs'. In the short term you can restore the old default by
+setting the environment variable USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS
+(which does affect the frame name, despite what it's called) to some value
+before starting XEmacs, but this is deprecated.
