Work around unintentional retention of modules by the GC.

Browse source 
This reverts par of "Document the failure of `gc.test' wrt. unused modules."
(commit 328efeb9a6.)

* ice-9/boot-9.scm (set-module-eval-closure!): Don't set the `module' property
  on CLOSURE.

* libguile/modules.c (scm_lookup_closure_module): Call `abort ()' to make it
  clear that code that uses the `module' property no longer works.  That code
  is unused anyway.
