ed2b91411a Limit ourselves to 8-bit branching
I'm planning on going back to 8-bit branching. 16-bit br cells incur
a non-negligible penalty and, while at first 64 words (128 bytes
forward or backward) seemed a bit limiting, I now don't see why one
would ever construct such a big branch. It would be un-forthy.

Also, I looked at using BC instead of IY to hold IP and the transition
would be a lot easier with 8-bit branching.

In this commit, all I do is add overflow checks in IF. The mechanic
below doesn't change. I'll give myself some time to think it over so
that I avoid yet another back and forth.

The way is clear for complete stage1 bootstrapping on the RC2014
target!
