[m-dev.] Stray symbols in Mercury libraries

[Warwick Harvey]

Hi folks,

I've been working on cleaning up the namespace pollution caused by the 
CLP(R) library.  In order to catch more exported symbols needing renaming 
than I might have otherwise, I thought I'd actually look at the symbols 
appearing in the final `.a' file.  While I was at it, I thought I'd do the 
same for the Mercury libraries.  I found the following 90 exported symbols 
(in the `asm_fast.gc' grade) which weren't prefixed by one of the standard 
`MR_', `ML_', `_entry_', `mercury_', etc. prefixes.

Anyway, I figured I'd work on a patch to add appropriate prefixes to these 
symbols, but before I started thought I'd check to see if anybody could see 
any particular reason why any of them shouldn't be renamed, or might warrant 
special treatment (i.e. anything other than rename, recompile, see what 
breaks), or shouldn't be done at this time.
