*file* returns "NO_SOURCE_PATH", but the doc says it should be nil

Description

According to http://clojure.org/api, *file* should return nil in the repl, but it returns "NO_SOURCE_PATH".

This has been true for a long time. Latest patch changes only the docstring of *file* to accurately reflect current behavior.

Patch applies cleanly and makes documentation more correct.

The second patch avoids promising the return value. For clarity, it does mention the lack of guarantee instead of omitting any mention.

I'd rather promise nothing than promise this forever.

Rescreened. Still applies on latest master.

Docstring only. Screened.
