Improve run-time error reporting in (ice-9 match).
* module/Makefile.am: match.go depends on match.upstream.scm. * module/ice-9/match.scm (error): Accept any number of arguments. * module/ice-9/match.upstream.scm (match-next): Call 'error' in non-tail context, and include the value that failed to match in the call.
