Fix Bug 699660 "shading_param incomplete type checking"

Its possible to pass a t_struct parameter to .shfill which is not a
shading function built by .buildshading. This could then lead to memory
corruption or a segmentation fault by treating the object passed in
as if it were a shading.

Its non-trivial to check the t_struct, because this function can take
7 different kinds of structures as a parameter. Checking these is
possible, of course, but would add a performance penalty.

However, we can note that we never call .shfill without first calling
.buildshading, and we never call .buildshading without immediately
calling .shfill. So we can treat these as an atomic operation. The
.buildshading function takes all its parameters as PostScript objects
and validates them, so that should be safe.

This allows us to 'hide' the .shfill operator preventing the possibility
of passing an invalid parameter.

Hide the .shfill operator

Commit 0b6cd1918e1ec4ffd087400a754a845180a4522b was supposed to make
the .shfill operator unobtainable, but I accidentally left a comment
in the line doing so.

Fix it here, without this the operator can still be exploited.
