Virgil Dupras 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.

; The Parameter stack (PS) is maintained by SP and the Return stack (RS) is
; maintained by IX. This allows us to generally use push and pop freely because
; PS is the most frequently used. However, this causes a problem with routine
; calls: because in Forth, the stack isn't balanced within each call, our return
; offset, when placed by a CALL, messes everything up. This is one of the
; reasons why we need stack management routines below. IX always points to RS'
; Top Of Stack (TOS)
;
; This return stack contain "Interpreter pointers", that is a pointer to the
; address of a word, as seen in a compiled list of words.
; Push value HL to RS
pushRS:
inc ix
inc ix
ld (ix), l
ld (ix+1), h
ret
; Pop RS' TOS to HL
popRS:
ld l, (ix)
ld h, (ix+1)
dec ix
dec ix
ret
; Skip the next two bytes in RS' TOS
skipRS:
push hl
ld l, (ix)
ld h, (ix+1)
