27.0.50; desktop-save no longer saves register containing frameset

[Tadeus Prastowo]

$ emacs -Q
C-x C-f x.txt
Hello world!
C-x C-s
C-x 3
C-x 2
C-x r f =
C-x 1
M-x desktop-save RET RET yes RET
C-x C-c
$ emacs -Q
M-x desktop-read RET
C-x r j =
The echo area says: Register doesn’t contain a buffer position or configuration

Compare this with Emacs 26.1 that has the correct behavior:
$ emacs-26.1 -Q
C-x C-f x.txt
Another hello world!
C-x C-s
C-x 3
C-x 2
C-x r f =
C-x 1
M-x desktop-save RET RET yes RET
C-x C-c
$ emacs-26.1 -Q
M-x desktop-read RET
C-x r j =
I get the saved frameset back, which contains three windows.

The problem can be traced to the following commit (the committer is CC-ed):

    * lisp/register.el: Use cl-generic

    (registerv): Make it a "normal"struct.
    (registerv-make): Declare obsolete.
    (register-val-jump-to, register-val-describe, register-val-insert):
    New generic functions.
    (jump-to-register, describe-register-1, insert-register): Use them.

    * lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-generic.el: Prefill a combination of struct+typeof.
    (cl--generic-prefill-dispatchers): Allow a list of specializers.

Specifically, because type vector is dropped, frameset.el in its using
of registerv-make to save a frameset results in register-alist item
that is no longer a vector (C-h v register-alist shows `(61 .
#s(registerv :data [[frameset 1...' in 27.0.50, not `(61 . [registerv
[[frameset 1...' that is shown in Emacs 26.1).  Since it is no longer
a vector, desktop.el upon desktop-save does not serialize the item in
a format that can be recognized by register.el after desktop-read.

Since the offending commit deprecates the use of registerv-make, this
bug can be easily be killed by making frameset.el define function
`register-val-insert' that saves a frameset as a vector, modifying
function `frameset-to-register' accordingly.

@Stefan: could you do that, please?  Thank you.
