Lisp reader mishandles large non-base-10 integers on 64-bit hosts |

In the Emacs trunk I found some more problems with the Lisp
reader and large integers. It uses a floating-point number
to keep track of the integer's value, which leads to incorrect
answers with large integers on 64-bit hosts. In some cases the
errors are fairly extreme. I plan to install the following patch
after some more testing.
* lread.c (read_integer): Be more consistent with string-to-number.
Use string_to_number to do the actual conversion; this avoids
rounding errors and fixes some other screwups. Without this fix,
for example, #x1fffffffffffffff was misread as -2305843009213693952.
(digit_to_number): Move earlier, for benefit of read_integer.
Return -1 if the digit is out of range for the base, -2 if it is
not a digit in any supported base.

Merged fixes for 8600, 8601, 8602, and (partially) for 8545 |

I committed to the Emacs trunk a merge (bzr 104134) that has fixes for
the following bugs:
* Bug#8600 - The fix removes the garbage element of code_space.
* Bug#8601 - Here I assumed that the "* 2" is a typo.
* Bug#8602 - This fixes some large-int-to-float screwups in
the Lisp reader.
* Bug#8545 - This fixes the bug where the code should have called
va_copy, but didn't. Also, I changed a limit so that
the MOST_POSITIVE_FIXNUM limit for strings applies to
their length, i.e., does not include the null termination
byte. Stefan hasn't had time to chime in, but if this
last change turns out to be incorrect I will back it out.
This merge doesn't entirely fix Bug#8545, so I'll leave that bug open;
the others I'll close.
