refactor(emacs): Use unstable channel directly in emacs module

Stores the unstable channel in the global package set to make it
available in the emacs module.

All emacs-related packages are now taken from the unstable channel.

Related changes:

* prescient is now built directly from git
* sly has been (temporarily) removed because the MELPA recipe is
  failing

Unfortunately the version bumps to prescient and ivy (& its related
packages) don't seem to help with raxod502/prescient.el#10
