Subject: New function: assq and rassq.

TXR Lisp is henceforth a dialect in which

  (cdr (assq key a-list))

works exactly as shown, without substitution of
assql or assoc.

* eval.c (eval_init): Register assq and rassq intrinsics.

* lib.c (assq, rassq): New functions.

* lib.h (assq, rassq): Declared.

* txr.1: Documented.

* tests/012/ashwin.tl: New file.

* tests/012/ashwin.expected: New file.
