Reimplement SCM_MAKE_CHAR to evaluate its argument only once.
The motivation for this change is that SCM_MAKE_CHAR is sometimes passed
an expression that involves a procedure call that is not always trivial.
In other cases, the results are not guaranteed to be the same both
times, which could lead to the creation of invalid SCM objects.
* libguile/chars.h (SCM_MAKE_CHAR): Reimplement.
