Introduction of fractions exposes uniform vector prototype bug

In the silly uniform vector (and array) prototype system, the
canonical prototype for uniform double vectors is (according to the
entry on uniform arrays in the manual) 1/3.

However, since 1/3 is no longer a real, uniform vector creation with
this prototype fails...

I have no good suggestion for what to do about this, but one thing is
certain: We can't suggest people to use 1/3 as prototype for double
arrays (at least now without modifying scm_make_uve).

Note also, that prototypes like 1.0 menas uniform float array...
