Add a new variable `inhibit-interaction'
* doc/lispref/elisp.texi (Top): Add a link. * doc/lispref/errors.texi (Standard Errors): Mention the new error. * doc/lispref/minibuf.texi (Minibuffers): Add a link. (Inhibiting Interaction): New node. * src/data.c (syms_of_data): Define the `inhibited-interaction' error. * src/lisp.h: Export the barfing function. * src/lread.c (Fread_char, Fread_event, Fread_char_exclusive): Barf if inhibited. * src/minibuf.c (barf_if_interaction_inhibited): New function. (Fread_from_minibuffer, Fread_no_blanks_input): Barf if inhibited. (syms_of_minibuf): Define the `inhibit-interaction' variable.
