eefbf66e95 De-stabilize (br), (?br), (loop), (s)
When writing the xcomp documentation, I realized that with careful
threading and by accepting a bit of code duplication in the xcomp
toolset, I could de-stabilize a couple of words.

(n) and EXIT are a bit trickier, but I think it can be done. It
would be nice to get rid of stable wordrefs...

e4a4a9800d z80: Use BC as IP register instead of IY
It's a bit more inconvenient in terms of register protection (BC
is much more generally useful than IY), but it makes tight spots
such as next and execute much faster, so I think it's worth it.

a7dcb522c2 Make br cells 1 byte wide
The 1 byte limitation has been effective for a while now, but I
hadn't made the move yet, I wanted to see if the limitation would
cause me problems. It doesn't.

Doing this now slightly facilitates the IY->BC move in z80.

Bootstrapping: if you try to recreate the CVM binary from the
previous commit with this code, you'll have bootstrapping problems.
The first bootstrap will compile a binary with 2-bytes wide cells
but branching conditionals that yields 1-byte cells. That's bad.

I got around the issue by temporarily inserting a "397 399 LOADR"
instruction in cvm/xcomp.fs, right before the xcomp overrides. This
way, I force 1-byte cells everywhere on the first compiliation,
which then allows me to apply the logic change in cvm/vm.c and have
a properly running binary.

b9fb6a6226 z80: move boot code around
Bring native words together, make the next/exec/does/compiled
cluster be at the beginning.

Next step: bring find code into _find word.

3ea221d0eb z80: inline all uses of pushRS/popRS
I'm trying to move stuff around and it simplifies things. Will make
a lot more sense to inline when BC replaces IY.

b626944273 z80: move back R* words to native words section
This allows us to refer to pushRS/popRS routines by labels, allowing
us to get rid of the pushRS reference in the stable ABI zone.

440ea43a88 z80a: make mnemonic names more uniform across assemblers
Initially, I used the same letters as those used in the z80 ref
docs, but it makes the different assemblers harder to use than they
should. Having consistent "argtype" rules across assemblers should
help.

eba83fa9a9 z80: use named labels for boot routines
The usage of numerotated labels for this was becoming severly
confusing.

f6ded7712e VE: add 't'
This is the first commit I do entirely in VE. It's a habit I'm planning
on taking as it helps a lot to find usability issues.
