uiop: gut the last wrapping in make-pathname*
I initially introduced all that make-pathname* madness on the road to ASDF 2.27, back when I was trying to normalize pathname components so I may have pathname-indexed entries in the asdf-cache (to minimize costly filesystem access from file-write-date and such, that could also introduce inconsistency in the build plan). Problem is, there was no good way (even non-portable) to normalize pathnames in a way that works when you use all of parse-namestring, make-pathname, directory, probe-file, translate-logical-pathname, merge-pathnames, etc. In the end (as late as b4dc78de, before 3.0.2.13!), I conceded defeat, for it was an uphill battle, and instead asdf-cache is indexing things using namestrings instead, which is more stable (see asdf/cache:normalize-namestring). The hacks in make-pathname* are therefore not needed anymore, and the function can be done away with. This commit guts the contents of make-pathname* and marks it deprecated. Just use make-pathname instead. It also updates uiop and asdf to not use make-pathname* but make-pathname. Some future commits may move it to backward-driver and eventually start issuing warnings of some sort when it's used.
