Postfixing functions with a bang, like set!, get!, etc are relatively
common. However, those names are not valid in python, so in the name of
python interoperability, lets mangle them to set_bang and get_bang,
respectively.

In case for doesn't get a body, raise the appropriate, descriptive error
instead of an IndexOutOfBounds one. Also updated the failing test case.

Closes#880. The changes compared to the pull request are:
- defn-alias and defmacro-alias are moved to contrib instead of being
fully removed.
- Minor documentation fixes, that were left in after the redundant
symbol removals.

Fixed up the documentation language here and there, related to the alias
removals in previous commits.

Since slice was renamed to cut, update some newly introduced functions
and macros that were using slice, to use cut instead.

defclass now has a new syntax:
(defclass Name [BaseList]
[property value
property value] ;; optional
(defn method [self]
self.property))
Anything after the optional property list (which will be translated to a
setv within the class context) will be added to the class body. This
allows one to have side effects and complex expressions within the class
definition.
As a side effect, defining methods is much more friendly now!
Closes#850.

The `with-decorator` special form is not the most ergonomic—this commit
introduces a new builtin `#@` reader macro that expands to an invocation
of `with-decorator`. To support this, `reader_macroexpand` is made to
also look in the default `None` namespace, in imitation of how
regular (non-reader) macros defined in hy.core are looked up. The
docstring of `hy.macros.reader` is also edited slightly for accuracy.
This in the matter of issue #856.
