    Rename _closure to _static_closure, apply naming consistently. · 35672072

    Summary:
    In preparation for indirecting all references to closures,
    we rename _closure to _static_closure to ensure any old code
    will get an undefined symbol error.  In order to reference
    a closure foobar_closure (which is now undefined), you should instead
    use STATIC_CLOSURE(foobar).  For convenience, a number of these
    old identifiers are macro'd.
    
    Across C-- and C (Windows and otherwise), there were differing
    conventions on whether or not foobar_closure or &foobar_closure
    was the address of the closure.  Now, all foobar_closure references
    are addresses, and no & is necessary.
    
    CHARLIKE/INTLIKE were not changed, simply alpha-renamed.
