cl-preloaded.el: Fix the type lattice
We generally want types to form not just a DAG but a lattice. If objects can be both `keyword` and `symbol-with-pos`, this means there should be a more precise type describing this intersection. If we ever find the need for such a refinement, we could add such a `keyword-with-pos` type, but here I took the simpler route of treating `keyword` not as a proper built-in type but as a second-class type like `natnum`. While fixing this problem, also fix the problem we had where `functionp` was not quite adequate to characterize objects of type `function`, by introducing a new predicate `cl-functionp` for that. * lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-preloaded.el (cl-functionp): New function. (function): Use it. (keyword): Don't declare it as a built-in type. (user-ptrp): Remove redundant declaration. * lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-generic.el (cl--generic--unreachable-types): Delete constant. (cl-generic-generalizers): Remove corresponding test. * lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el (cl-deftype-satisfies): Add entry for `keyword` type. * lisp/emacs-lisp/comp.el (comp-known-predicates): Fix type for negative result of `characterp`. Remove duplicate `numberp` entry. Fix types for `keywordp` now that `keyword` is not a built-in type any more. * test/src/data-tests.el (data-tests--cl-type-of): Add a few cases. Remove workaround for `function`.
