quasistrings: reduce consing.

Quasistrings compile to code that requires on the sys:fmt-join
function to glue strings together. Rewriting that function to
avoid converting its arguments from struct args * to a list.

* eval.c (fmt_join): Static function removed.

* lib.c (cat_str_measure, cat_str_append): more_p parameter
changed to int type, which better matches the C style Boolean
values it takes.
(fmt_join): New external function.

* lib.h: Declared.

* args.h (args_more_nozap, args_get_nozap): New inline
functions allowing multiple iterations over arguments without
making a copy.
