* New upstream release. Major changes:
   + minor incompatible change: SB-SPROF:WITH-PROFILING now by default
     profiles only the current thread.
   + minor incompatible change: changes to SYMBOL-VALUE of constants
     defined with DEFCONSTANT now signal an error.
   + enhancement: SB-SPROF now has support for wallclock profiling,
     and is also able to profile specific threads. REPORT output
     has also additional sorting options.
   + enhancement: better pretty-printing of DEFPACKAGE forms. (Thanks
     to Michael Weber)
   + optimization: structure allocation has been improved
     ** constructors created by non-toplevel DEFSTRUCTs are ~40% faster.
     ** out of line constructors are ~10% faster.
     ** inline constructors are ~15% faster.
     ** inline constructors are capable of dynamic extent allocation
        (generally on x86 and x86-64, in some cases on other platforms
        as well.)
   + optimization: simple uses of HANDLER-CASE and HANDLER-BIND no
     longer cons.
   + optimization: file compiler is now able to coalesce non-circular
     lists, non-base strings, and bit-vectors. Additionally, constants
     are never referenced through SYMBOL-VALUE at runtime.
   + optimization: code defining methods on PRINT-OBJECT (and other
     generic functions in the COMMON-LISP package) now loads faster.
   + bug fix: EAI_NODATA is deprecated since RFC 3493. Stop using it
     in sb-bsd-sockets.
   + bug fix: if COMPILE-FILE aborts due to an unwind, the partial
     fasl is now deleted. (reported by Attila Lendvai)
   + bug fix: READ-LINE always returned NIL for the last line in files.
     (reported by Yoshinori Tahara)
   + bug fix: more accurate disassembly annotations of foreign function
     calls. (thanks to Andy Hefner)
   + bug fix: trimming non-simple strings and non-string string
     designators when the there is nothing to trim works properly.
     (thanks to James Knight)
   + new feature: SB-POSIX bindings for mlockall, munlockall, and setsid.
     (thanks to Travis Cross)
   + fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
     ** NIL is a valid function name (regression at 1.0.13.38)
     ** FILL on lists was missing its return value (regression at 1.0.12.27)
     ** STRING-TRIM, STRING-LEFT-TRIM, and STRING-RIGHT-TRIM did not respect
        fill pointers properly (regression at 1.0.12.23)
     ** STRING-TRIM, STRING-LEFT-TRIM, and STRING-RIGHT-TRIM did not respect
        displacement indices properly (regression at 1.0.12.23)
