3d2dc041fb Make word routines into word types
Instead of having wordref point to core word routines, I made them
into word 4 word types. It liberates space into the stable ABI and
should make porting to other arches easier.

I'm also thinking of combining word type with the namelen field
for precious bytes saving, but not now...

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.

bd38d80f9c Move Cross-compiled core from B390 to B350
and renamed it "Core words". Also, reworded the presentation.

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