Remove Linker

Now that the boot binary is fully cross-compiled, there's no use for
the linker anymore. Theoretically, it could still be useful, but I
can't think of a real use case.

Let's take it out of the picture. If it's ever needed again, I'll
know where to find it.

Linker
Relink a dictionary by applying offsets to all word references
in words of the "compiled" type.
A typical usage of this unit would be to, right after a
bootstrap-from-icore-from-source operation, identify the root
word of the source part, probably "H@", and run " ' thatword
RLDICT ". Then, take the resulting relinked binary, concatenate
it to the boot binary, and write to boot media.
LIMITATIONS
This unit can't automatically detect all offsets needing
relinking. This is a list of situations that aren't handled:

Cells: It's not possible to know for sure whether a cellWord
contains an address or a number. They are therefore not
automatically relinked. You have to manually relink each of
them with RLCELL. In the case of a DOES> word, PFA+2, which
is always an offset, is automatically relinked, but not
PFA+0.
Load with "122 LOAD"

( RLATOM pre-comment
Relink atom at a, applying offset o with limit ol.
Returns a, appropriately skipped.
0x24 = IF: 0x24 is an addrWord, which should be offsetted in
the same way that a regular word would. To achieve this, we
skip ASKIP and instead of skipping 4 bytes like a numberWord,
we skip only 2, which means that our number will be treated
like a regular wordref. )

( RLWORD pre-comment
Relink a word with specified offset. If it's not of the type
"compiled word", ignore. If it is, advance in word until a2
is met, and for each word that is above ol, reduce that
reference by o.
Arguments: a1: wordref a2: word end addr o: offset to apply
ol: offset limit. don't apply on refs under it.
The 0x0e and 0x2b check at the beginning is to ensure we have
either a compiledWord or a doesWord. If we don't, we do
nothing. The further 0x2b check is because if we have a
doesWord, we start 2 bytes later.

( RLDICT pre-comment: Copy dict from target wordref, including
header, up to HERE. We're going relocate those words by
specified offset. To do this, we're copying this whole memory
area in HERE and then iterate through that copied area and call
RLWORD on each word. That results in a dict that can be
concatenated to target's prev entry in a more compact way.
This copy of data doesn't allocate anything, so H@ doesn't
move. Moreover, we reserve 4 bytes at H@ to write our target
and offset because otherwise, things get too complicated with
the PSP.
The output of this word is 3 numbers: top copied address, top
copied CURRENT, and then the beginning of the copied dict at
the end to indicate that we're finished processing.

( Note that the last word is always skipped because it's not
possible to reliably detect its end. If you need that last
word, define a dummy word before calling RLDICT.
We first start by copying the affected area to H@+4. This is
where the relinking will take place.
Then we iterate the new dict from the top, keeping track of
wr, the current wordref and we, wr's end offset.
Initially, we get our wr and we, withH@ and CURRENT, which we
offset by u+4. +4 before, remember, we're using 4 bytes
as variable space.
At each iteration, we becomes wr-header and wr is fetched from
PREV field. )
