apply: eliminate wasteful consing.

Now (pprof (apply '+ 1 2 3 4 5 '(6 7))) shows zero
bytes consed. Previously 176 (on 32 bit). This is
the same whether the expression is compiled or
interpreted.

* eval.c (applyv): Rewritten to efficiently manipulate the
args and call generic_funcall directly. The consing
funcction apply_intrinsic_frob_args is only used when
args contains a trailing list (args->list) and is only
used on that trailing list, not the entire arg list.
Also, changing the static function to external.

* eval.h (applyv): Declared.

* vm.c (vm_apply): Use applyv instead of wastefully
converting the arguments to a consed list and going through
apply_intrinsic.
