Don't hardcode /lib/jim
Instead, set TCL_LIBRARY based on where jim is installed.
This defaults to /usr/local (thus /usr/local/lib/jim), or
can be modified with either configure or make. e.g.
./configure --prefix=/usr
or
make prefix=/usr install
Now auto_path is initialised only to TCL_LIBRARY, and doesn't
include "." which could be undesirable.
At the same time, simplify jimsh initialisation using a script
instead of C code. Add the path to the executable to auto_path.
Also, no longer use JIM_TCL_COMPAT. Always use the tcl-compatible
names, $auto_path and $tcl_interactive.
