Remove all trace of type codes COMBINATION-2, PCOMB0, etc.

This finishes what 3fc580e started.  The resulting system runs but
does not build with the released version 9.1.  That version puts old
combinations in .exts that cannot be fasloaded by this new version.

interpretable, it seems the build process loads them but does not use
them.

sufficient to allow building directly from 9.1.

Rewrite the hash table constructors section with more weakness options.

Define and export key-ephemeral-eq and key-ephemeral-eqv tables as
replacements for the key-weak versions.

Punt descriptions of old hash table constructor procedures to the
bottom of the section and say they are for backward compatibility.

One may object to MAKE-KEY-EPHEMERAL-EQ-HASH-TABLE on the grounds that
it invites a combinatorial explosion of names:
make-key/datum-weak-eqv-hash-table
make-datum-ephemeral-string-hash-table
make-key&datum-ephemeral-equal-hash-table (!?)
and so on ad nauseam.

Where will it end?  The criterion I used to decide which names to
export and document and which names to leave alone and defer to the
general HASH-TABLE/CONSTRUCTOR mechanism was simply to update the
existing documentation.  The manual already listed
MAKE-WEAK-EQ-HASH-TABLE.  It is now named MAKE-KEY-WEAK-EQ-HASH-TABLE,
so that name is included.  But really, a key-weak table is just a
performance optimization over a key-ephemeral table, to save work when
you know the data will not hold the keys strongly.  So
MAKE-KEY-EPHEMERAL-EQ-HASH-TABLE is in; it was, in fact, the reason I
wanted Taylor to implement ephemerons in the first place.
MAKE-KEY-EPHEMERAL-EQV-HASH-TABLE is in to preserve the symmetry
between eq? and eqv? that was already present in the manual.  But the
rest of them are out, because they weren't there before.  If
datum-weak tables were so important that their constructor really must
be given a name here, then (arguably) why were they not already
implemented and documented?  The fact that MIT Scheme only supported
strong and key-weak tables for a long time suggests that those kinds
are the most common, and therefore the most deserving of slots in the
