AW: [iterate-devel] *list-end-test*

Thinking a little bit more about the issue, here's yet another proposal:
- keep the *list-end-test* variable with FOR IN only
   - ATOM = compatible
   - ENDP = raise error, like LOOP
   - default value is matter of debate
- unconditionaly use ATOM with FOR ON, so that
(iter (for x on '(1 2 . 3))) works (simultaneously compatible and like LOOP)

"compatible" means with itself, i.e. the last 15 years of Iterate.
