This patch removes pure space from Emacs 28.

Changes:
- now builds with --enable-checking=all

Todo:
- commit message not yet final.
- zero vector handling depends on Qnil being all zero in memory

Subject: [PATCH] Remove pure space (Bug#36649)

* src/lisp.h (struct Lisp_Symbol): Remove `pinned' flag.
(build_pure_c_string, pure_listn): Remove.  All calls removed.
* src/puresize.h: Remove file.
* src/fns.c (Fmake_hash_table): Ignore `:purecopy' argument.
* src/doc.c (store_function_docstring): Remove comment about pure
space.
* src/data.c (pure_write_error): Remove.  All calls removed.
* src/conf_post.h (SYSTEM_PURESIZE_EXTRA): Remove.
* src/fns.c (make_hash_table): Drop `purecopy' argument.  All
callers changed to remove argument.
* src/alloc.c (make_pure_string, make_pure_c_string, pure_cons)
(pure_list): Remove.  All calls removed.
(check_pure_size): Remove.  All calls removed.
(cons_listn): Simplify.
(Fmake_byte_code): Remove comment about pure space.
(pointer_align): Move definition to avoid warning.
* src/Makefile.in: Remove comment about pure space.
