Summary: TclInvalidateCmdLiteral breaks literal refcounting

Initial Comment:

New-ish routine added in checkin

http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/info/5ba2c5ac72bc06ed0e883e0102a9e14b098c128c

calls on TclCreateLiteral() which can have the
effect of incrementing the refcount of the
literal in the global table.  There's no matching
TclReleaseLiteral() call anywhere.
