Remove scavenging of read-only space.

Raymond Toy requested to merge issue-89-remove-scavenging-of-read-only into master

*SCAVENGE-READ-ONLY-SPACE* is always set to NIL, and it's highly unlikely any one ever sets it. I (rtoy) haven't done that in decades at least.

So, remove this static symbol, and remove the C code that tests for this to determine if the read-only space should be scavenged.

This requires a very simple cross-compile to remove the symbol. See boot-2020-04-1.lisp for very simple instructions. We currently on do this for x86 since we can't test on sparc right now.

Update CI to do a cross-compile.
