Respect non-saved value of `read-short-answer' (Bug#31782)

* lisp/emacs-lisp/map-ynp.el (read-answer-short): Add an `auto'
setting.
(read-answer): Check the function cell of `yes-or-no-p' when
`read-answer-short' is `auto' rather than calling
`custom-reevaluate-setting' which would reset the option to its saved
value.
