LGTM, please push!

Andy and I discussed it on IRC and despite the fact that it’s an ABI
change, we thought including the fix in 3.0.1 was probably the better
option.

Of all the scm_tc7_ values listed in ‘scm.h’, the following are not
explicitly listed (so they go to the default case that hashes the first
word):

  variable, hashtable, fluid, stringbuf, dynamic_state, frame,
  atomic_box, values, program, vm_cont, bytevector, weak_set,
  weak_table, array, bitvector, port

So for example all input file ports hash to the same value, all
3-element bytevectors hash to the same value, etc.

We can probably omit stringbuf, dynamic_state, and values, but the rest
should probably be fixed.

WDYT, Andy?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
