I figured it out.  Some stuff I thought could move to the new file
lisp/vc-filewise.el needs to stay in vc-hooks because the various backend
functions that check whether a backend is responsible for a file need
the helpers to be loaded that early.  I've added a comment that describes
the problem (in my local feature branch).

I would have spotted this sooner but for at least two stages of load
file generation that made it look like the re-partitioning was OK but
turned out to be like Coyote running on thin air - doomed as soon as he
looks down...

Trunk build seems to be currently OK.  Am beavering away on a feature
branch now.
