toggle-read-only fixes for bugs#7292, 10006.

* doc/lispref/buffers.texi (Read Only Buffers): Expand a bit on why
toggle-read-only should only be used interactively.

* lisp/files.el (toggle-read-only): Mention that it should only
be used interactively.

* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile-interactive-only-functions):
Add toggle-read-only.

@deffn Command toggle-read-only &optional arg
This command toggles whether the current buffer is read-only. It is
intended for interactive use; do not use it in programs. At any given
point in a program, you should know whether you want the read-only flag
on or off; so you can set @code{buffer-read-only} explicitly to the
proper value, @code{t} or @code{nil}.

side-effects, such as enabling View mode, and does not affect
read-only text properties). To change the read-only state of a buffer in
a program, explicitly set @code{buffer-read-only} to the proper value.
To temporarily ignore a read-only state, bind @code{inhibit-read-only}.
If @var{arg} is non-@code{nil}, it should be a raw prefix argument.
@code{toggle-read-only} sets @code{buffer-read-only} to @code{t} if

This function is usually the wrong thing to use in a Lisp program.
It can have side-effects beyond changing the read-only status of a buffer
\(e.g., enabling view mode), and does not affect read-only regions that
are caused by text properties. To make a buffer read-only in Lisp code,
set `buffer-read-only'. To ignore read-only status (whether due to text
properties or buffer state) and make changes, temporarily bind
`inhibit-read-only'."
