CLEANUP-SYSTEM-DEFINITION-SEARCH-FUNCTIONS attempts to remove
SYSDEF-PRELOADED-SYSTEM-SEARCH from the hooks, but it is never added.
and right under it, SEARCH-FOR-SYSTEM-DEFINITION also assumes that
it's supposed to be called explicitly after the hooks.

the reason it's relevant is that this way it's not possible to add a
hook as a very last hook to be called (e.g. for quicklisp integration
to initiate downloading if a system cannot be found anywhere).
