The `if` form now supports elif clauses.
It works like `cond` but without the implicit `do`.
The old `if` is now `if*`
variadic lif now supports "ellif" clauses.
Update if-no-waste compiler to use `if*` properly.
(Sometimes one character is all it takes.)

As part of the Grand Language Cleanup, a few examples in the tutorial
could be simplified:
* The --init-- function of the defclass example does not need an
explicit None anymore.
* The apply example in the Hy<->Python interop section can use a
keyword instead of a string in the last part.
This perhaps closes#971.

Adds a short (require) example, along with a few words on why macros can't be imported.
Closes#966.

Comparison operators such as =, !=, <, >, <=, >= should support a
one-arity version too, and return true in those cases (except for !=,
which returns false).
This closes#949.

This changes with syntax from (with [[x (expr)] (expr)] ...) to (with
[x (expr) (expr)] ...). Should have no ill side effects apart from the
syntax change.
Closes#852.

This changes let to use a flat list of symbol-value pairs instead of a
vector of vectors. One side effect is that (let [[a 1] z]) is not
expressible now, and one will explicitly need to set a nil value for z,
such as: (let [a 1 z nil]).
Closes#713.

apply now mangles strings and keywords according to the Hy mangling
rules (by using the same function, now imported from
hy.lex.parser). With this change, if the dict passed to apply has
keywords, strings or quoted symbols, they'll get mangled, to turn them
into proper keys.
This only works for the cases where the keys are directly in the apply
params. A previously deffed dict, or key through a variable will not be
mangled.
This closes#219.
