Virgil Dupras 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.

; 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)
