Some builtin macros have their own special meaning for ! and ? which is
inconsistent with the general meaning of those. This is confusing, bad and
conflicts with the goal of making builtins more like normal macros.
This changes %{verbose} to return a simple boolean that can be used in an
expression, and drops support for undocumented conditional %{?load:...} which
can be avoided by using newly added boolean %{exists:...} instead. Also drop
support for undocumented %{!trace} syntax to disable tracing, we can easily add
some other syntax to support that if necessary.
With that, builtin macros have no special syntaxes left, eliminate the internal
arguments.
