Shared arrays

        First cut at integrating uniform vectors from srfi-4 with the rest
        of Guile.  This change replaces scm_tc7_byvect with a s8 uniform
        vector.  The plan is to gradually replace one type after the other
        until none is left and then to consider general cleanups and
        optimizations.

This is great.  Just one comment.  I do hope we'll keep the ability to
create shared arrays.  This is similar in spirit to list structures
and mutation-sharing substrings, and extremely useful.
