Semantics change. If a variable is followed by a mixture
of text and regular expressions, that whole mixture is considered to follow the variable and used for matching. The earlier semantics change whereby a single unescaped space denotes the regular expression / +/ broke the simple case @a word. It caused the @a to be followed not by the text " word" but by just the regular expression element. With this change @a word means that a is followed by the regex / +/ and "word". * match.c (text_s): New symbol variable. (h_text): New function. (syms_init): Initialize new symbol variable. (dir_tables_init): Hook h_text into horizontal directives table. * match.h (text_s): Declared. * parser.y (text, texts): New nonterminals. (elem): TEXT, SPACE and regex are now handled under texts grammar production. All texts are run together and produce an item which looks like (text items ...). * txr.1, RELNOTES: Updated. * txr.c (remove_hash_bang_line): Updated to find #! buried in (text ...) syntax.

- Buggy @(eol) directive fixed.

+ - Semantics change for text and regular expressions in "negative match":
+ - a variable is considered to be followed by a run of text which
+ consists of any mixture of regexes and literal text
+ - thus @foo bar behaves properly once again; it is not treated
+ as foo followed by the regex / +/, ignoring the text bar.
