Add parse-path-with-ellipsis, and use it for GUILE_LOAD_PATH et al.
* libguile/load.c (scm_ellipsis): New Variable. (scm_parse_path_with_ellipsis): New procedure. (scm_init_load): Initialize 'scm_ellipsis'. (scm_init_load_path): Use 'scm_parse_path_with_ellipsis' to handle GUILE_LOAD_PATH and GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH. * libguile/load.h (scm_parse_path_with_ellipsis): Add prototype. * doc/ref/guile-invoke.texi (Environment Variables): doc/ref/api-evaluation.texi (Load Paths): Add documentation. Correct description of default load path to reflect reality. Remove 'GUILE_LOAD_PATH' from the concept index; it is already in the variable index. Add cross references between these two sections of the manual.
