Rename "Core words" to "XPACKed core"

Now that this section is so small, I think I can see a possibility
for cross-compiling Collapse OS entirely, which would be great
because we could get rid of the relinker.

Core words
XPACKed core
These words follow cross-compiled words, but unlike them, these
are self-bootstrapping and don't depend on the Cross Compiler.
They will typically be included in source form right after a
stage1 binary which will interpret it on boot and bootstrap
itself to a full intepreter, which can then be relinked with
the Relinker. There is no loader for these libraries because
you will typically XPACK (B267) them.
Most of Collapse OS' core words are cross compiled (B390).
However, some of them are too dynamically referenced to be
cross-compiled without great pain, so we XPACK (B267) them,
that is, we put them in source form in the target's
initialization section (see B89).
440 core 447 readln
453 blk
These words will be compiled into RAM at initialization, which
is a bit wasteful both in RAM and in boot time, so we will
typically relink (B120) that newly compiled binary and append
it to our existing binary for optimal resource usage.
