2.26.100: checkpointing a lot of progress.

* Pathname support has been cleaned up, yet again,
 extending and renaming COERCE-PATHNAME into PARSE-UNIX-NAMESTRING,
 also ENSURE-PATHNAME, many docstrings, and plenty of small enhancements.
* Bundles were refactored to take advantage of the new, more sensible,
 component-depends-on semantics.
* Image support was cleaned up again, and program-op was implemented
 to produce a standalone executable on supported platforms;
 a working hello-world-example is included amongst tests.
* The *compile-file-function* indirection was removed, with the
 ECL and MKCL object file support
 being folded into compile-file* instead.
* systems now can have NIL as component-pathname,
 instead of providing a non-sensible bogus pathname
 when no sensible pathname was determined.
 Most of our pathname functions have sensible default behavior
 when provided NIL instead of a pathname as an argument.
