Convert PL/Tcl to use Tcl's "object" interfaces.
The original implementation of Tcl was all strings, but they improved performance significantly by introducing typed "objects" (integers, lists, code, etc). It's past time we made use of that; that happened in Tcl 8.0 which was released in 1997. This patch also modernizes some of the error-reporting code, which may cause small changes in the spelling of complaints about bad calls to PL/Tcl-provided commands.
