[Chicken-hackers] [PATCH] Remove deprecations

[Peter Bex]

Hi all,

Here's a patch that gets rid of all the things that were deprecated
in 4.8.0.  Some of the things were a little tricky - for example, there
were several macros that were plain lambdas that didn't make use of a
macro transformer wrapper.  It turns out the notes I put with the
string->number stuff were also incorrect, so I fixed it the right way :)

I'm not sure, but perhaps we need to bump the binary version for this?
Programs with stored flonum literals might have things like "nan.0"
stored as strings, which will cause them to crash when run against
a newer libchicken.

Cheers,
Peter
