Fix #171: Readably print pathnames with :unspecific

Raymond Toy requested to merge issue-171-readable-unspecific-pathnames into master

If a pathname contains a component with :unspecific, don't use the namestring to print the pathname. Use cmucl's extension #P(...) to print the pathname readably.

We also tighten the algorithm so that the extension is not used for printing pathnames that have an :unspecific component with lisp patterns or search-lists. Patterns and search-lists don't have a readable syntax for the pattern or search-list themselves.
