lib: streamline interning slightly.

We get rid of some defaulting and error checks from interning.
This saves a few cycles on startup in the large number of
intern calls that are performed.

* eval.c (eval_init): Wire the intern intrinsic to the new
intern_intrinsic function rather than intern.

* lib.c (intern): Remove package lookup and error check on str
argument.
(intern_intrinsic): New function, which has the package lookup
and error check.
(intern_fallback): Remove package lookup and error check.

* lib.h (intern_intrinsic): Declared.

* txr.c (txr_main): Fix one instance of an intern call that
relies on defaulting of the second argument, by passing
cur_package.
