Summary: errorInfo no longer exists in 8.5 interp init

Initial Comment:
Create a slave interp and you find that 'errorInfo' is no longer there by default:

interp create a
a eval info exists errorInfo

This is a regression from previous versions of Tcl.  The docs don't stipulate that it will exist, but it always has before.  I think defaulting it to "" may be worthwhile.

In 8.5, the typical case is for
a value of ::errorInfo to get set
via a read trace -- an "on demand"
availability of the value.

However...

% [interp create] eval set errorInfo
can't read "errorInfo": no such variable

So clearly something's not right
in the current HEAD.

Thanks for the report; will check into it.
