There were two problems with the original implementation:

1. It changed the behavior of insert-abbrev-table-description when
READABLE is nil to sometimes insert one Emacs Lisp expression and
sometimes insert nothing.
2. It broke the tests.

This commit reworks this so that insert-abbrev-table-description
always inserts an expressions even if no abbrevs need to be saved and
making only write-abbrev-file check that a table has any abbrevs to
save before calling insert-abbrev-table-description.  This duplicates
the work of filtering the table for savable abbrevs, but the benefit
of keeping the API is worth it.
