Reworked 2003-01-12 change -- call a plist a plist!

(QCplist): Renamed from QCvars.  All uses changed.
(Fprocess_plist): Replaces Fprocess_variable.  Simplified.
(Fset_process_plist): Replaces Fset_process_variable.  Simplified.
(syms_of_process): Intern, staticpro, defsubr these.
(Fmake_network_process): Describe :plist arg.  Removed :vars arg.
