Closes #43

  • Keyword.Symbol is public, so the arity-1 symbol call site in core.clj binds it
  • test-symbol covers a simple keyword, a namespaced keyword, a symbol and a string

fix(symbol): arity-1 symbol takes a keyword instead of throwing
a45cd5a 
Backport of CLJCLR-145 (86578fc), taken unchanged.

core.clj reads Keyword.Symbol through a dynamic call site, and
ClojureGetZeroArityMemberBinder looks up members with BindingFlags.Public
only, so an internal property returns no match and (symbol :foo) throws
MissingMethodException.
