interface that can be used for all sorting tasks in the library. The actual sort
algorithms to use are now plugable. Timsort is the new default sorting
algorithm, the existing algorithms, shellsort and quicksort, can still be
selected using a configure switch.
Also implement the new NSComparator (blocks) based sorting and insertion index
searching methods for NSMutableArray and NSArray.

Yes, the syntax is ugly, but no doubt people will start using it in June...

enumeration methods that take blocks as arguments. This allows us to implement
the NSEnumerationConcurrent option of those methods with minimal effort.
The searching methods on NSIndexSet and all the sorting methods are still
missing.

being confusing. They now both take a simple C-string argument which
names the set, and the macros check that each end matches a start of
the same name. Since tis means that a START_SET no longer takes an
argument sayng whether or notthe set is to be skipped, we now have a
SKIP macro to be used inside a set to skip to the end of it. This
is actually more versatile as we can have multiple SKIP macros in the
same set, each providing a different reason for the set being skipped.
Also removed a few obsolete/unused functions and macros.
