	(Fdelete_overlay): Set the overlay's markers to point nowhere.
	Use CHECK_OVERLAY instead of signalling a special error.
	(Fmove_overlay, Foverlay_put): Use CHECK_OVERLAY instead of
	signalling a special error.
	(Foverlay_get): Use CHECK_OVERLAY.
	* fns.c (internal_equal): Define this for overlays.
