0.9.14.21:

	Allow "anonymous" (in the sense of AMOP pp.67-69) classes
	... names not necessarily symbols.

	This entails a great big rearrangement of class finalization and
	various associated activities; (setf class-name) and (setf
	find-class) (and their sb-kernel:classoid equivalents) are now
	slightly less tangled, but the coupling is still non-intuitive:
	classoids need proper names earlier than classes, as they are
	used in the compiler transform for TYPEP / DECLARE TYPE, so the
	ideal of strictly parallel CLASSOID / CLASS is not present, and
	left for future work.

	Add tests, both of the new functionality and also for various
	things that broke along the way, detected by gcl/ansi-tests and
	from emergent properties of our own test suite.
