[Rd] eapply duplicates elements unnecessarily

eapply duplicates the elements of the environment it is being applied to
> env = new.env(); x = 1; tracemem(x)
[1] "<0x1758cd18>"
> env[["x"]] = x
> xx <- eapply(env, length)
tracemem[0x1758cd18 -> 0x1758cbc8]: eapply
but duplication seems unnecessary. I think this is because of 'duplicate' in
FrameValues (envir.c:2402). It's hard to tell what contract FrameValues is
living up to, but is INCREMENT_NAMED() sufficient? (the PROTECT on value in
line 2398 also seems unnecessary -- it must already be protected?)
