42abbe75aa forth: remove 0 and 1 constants
They do save space (nearly 100b), but they complicate our Forth-ification
process. We'll re-add them later.

6eaabb9bbe forth: make word name of variable length
This allows us to save a whole 500 bytes on the final binary size!

This change comes after I took a look at the hex dump and saw that one letter
constants in z80a.fs took a lot of space.

61bb22e8c9 forth: straighten out "/MOD"
The removal of the "divide" routine highlighted the fact that
nativeWord wasn't properly stabilized.

67c55b0b2f forth: Forth-ify ROT, a native word!
This requires us to significantly adjust our build process, which
now has 3 stages.

ffe61a12f8 forth: make prev word field relative
This should help with upcoming challenges in bootstrapping z80 code
compiled through Forth.

549cf74e9d forth: inline code from "apps/lib"
Forth-ification of Collapse OS goes forward. What will happen is that assembly
code in apps/ will become Forth code. The concept of an assembler code library
will become obsolete.

However, Forth's core use some of that code. To facilitate the transition, I'm
inlining that code directly in Forth's code.

c3838714d5 forth: improve execution model
My approach with RS was slightly wrong: RS' TOP was always containing current
IP. It worked, but it was problematic when came the time to introduce
RS-modifying words: it's impossible to modify RS in a word without immediately
messing your flow.

Therefore, what used to be RS' TOS has to be a variable that isn't changed
midway by RS-modifying words. I guess that's why RS is called *return* stack...

a8e573c84a forth: add bin dict compilation stage!
Big one.

This allows us to write higher order words directly in Forth, which is much
more convenient than writing post-immediate (see "NOT" structure in diff if
you want to see what I mean) structures in ASM.

These structures can then be written to ROM (rather than loaded in RAM for
definitions loaded at run-time).

That's quite a bit of tooling that was added, 2 compilations stages, but I
think it's well worth it.
