Matthew Flatt 9f6f988150 Chez Schme: change struct predicate implementation
Instead of keeping a rectord type's ancestry in a vector ordered from
subtype to supertype, keep the vector the other way around, and
include a record type at the end of its own vector. This order makes a
more direct test possible when checking for a known record type,
especially one without a supertype, and it's generally easier to
reason about.

The revised compilation of record predicates trades some speed in one
case for smaller generated code and speed in other cases. The case
that becomes slower is when a predicate succeeds because the record is
an immediate instance of the record type. The cases that go faster are
when a predicate fails for a non-instance record or when a predicate
succeeds for a non-immediate instance. It's possible that an
immediate-instance shortcut is worthwhile on the grounds that it's a
common case for a predicate used as contract, but we opt for simpler
and less code for now, because the difference is small.

Also, add `record-instance?`, which in unsafe mode can skip the check
that its first argument is a record, and cptypes can substitute
`record-instance?` for `record?` in some cases. This change was worked
out independently and earlier by @yjqww6, especially the cptypes part.

Racket is a general-purpose programming language and an ecosystem for language-oriented programming.

This repository holds the source code for the core of Racket plus some related packages. The rest of the Racket distribution source code is in other repositories, mostly under the Racket GitHub organization.

Quick Start

Pre-built versions of Racket for a variety of operating systems and architectures, as well as convenient source distributions are available at

https://download.racket-lang.org

Racket comes with extensive documentation, including several tutorials. You can read all of this documentation, as well as documentation for third-party packages at

https://docs.racket-lang.org

Building from Source

For information on building Racket from this repository, see the Build Guide.
