abbreviated type declarations

Bug #309468 reported by Nikodemus Siivola

Bug Description

ANSI says in one place that type declarations can be abbreviated even
when the type name is not a symbol, e.g.

    (DECLAIM ((VECTOR T) *FOOVECTOR*))

..but ANSI says in another place that this isn't allowed. So it's not clear what
is right.

Historically SBCL did not support this, and currently it does. We need
to make a reasoned decision either way, and document this.
