5d5517ac44 forth: allow DEFINE's ";" to be at the start of a newline
Previous to this commit, DEFINE's algo would miss a ";" right after a newline.

This allows for a much nicer formatting+comment of core.fs.

80ab395823 forth: Simplify execution model
Change the mainloop so that words are executed immediately after they're read.
This greatly simplifies execution model and allow the "DEFINE" word to become
an IMMEDIATE and stop its "copy from compiled words" scheme.

The downside to this is that flow control words no longer work when being used
directly in the input buffer. They only work as part of a definition.

It also broke "RECURSE", but I've replaced it with "BEGIN" and "AGAIN".

Another effect of this change is that definitions can now span multiple lines.

All in all, it feels good to get rid of that COMPBUF...

7befe56597 forth: improve input flow
Readline, instead of being triggered by the end of execution of the last
compiled line is now triggered "just in time", by "WORD".

This allows IMMEDIATE words reading input buffer to span multiple lines
( comments for example, but colon definitions will soon follow ).

e1f815baeb forth: Forth-ify main loop a bit
Add words "COMPILE" and "DROP". The goal is to soon make "DEFINE" immediate
and have it compile from input directly. This whole "main loop compiles
everything and DEFINE picks up compiled atoms" is a bit messy.

764b2222c7 forth: replace (fbr?) by SKIP?
This will allow us to support backward branching with just one new (bbr) word.
Also, this allow us to have "(" word sooned in core.fth and thus allow for
earlier commenting.

d60ea4cb30 forth: Forth-ify RECURSE
This comes with RS-modifying words. Also, this commit separates ";" from "EXIT",
allowing EXIT to be used in definitions (was needed for RECURSE).

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...

We now always do ","-style writes in (HERE), even in IMMEDIATE mode. Simplifies
things and paves the way for compiling words in Forth.

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.

6757c097ea forth: change the whole execution model again
Things are better now, but immediates inside colons are broken. However,
IF/THEN/ELSE are now immediates and it's much cleaner this way. Still, this
commit has too much stuff in it, I need to commit, I don't want to lose this
step.

2ddca57f3f forth: add string and logic routines, as well as "RECURSE"
The goal was to be able to implement "(" in forth, but I realised that my
INTERPRET approach was wrong. Compiling the line beforehand is, after all,
not good. I'll have to change it again.

Previous approach was broken with regards to defined word using CREATE.

Also, reduce name length by one to make space for a new flags field for
"immediate" (which isn't used yet).

03e529b762 forth: simplify execution model and handle literals better
This scheme of "when we handle line-by-line, compile one word at a time then
execute" so that we could allow words like "CREATE" to call "readword" before
continuing was a bad scheme. It made things like branching outside of a colon
definition impossible.

This commit implement a new "litWord". When an undefined word is encountered at
compile time, it is included as-is in a string literal word. It is at run time
that we decide what to do with it.
