[nucl] resolve words only when called, otherwise return symbols
...
This is necessary for defining new words and allows us to move the dictionary
implementation after the reader.

[nucl] allow calling into words and properly maintain the stack
...
This commit takes a correction over things corrected (and rebased) in
refactor-stacks branch.
consturctors nucl_stack_to_foo remove elements from the stack and leave the
parsed element on the stack.
Move specials at the beginning.

[wip] msvc: update a makefile and specify /std:c11 minimal standard
...
MSVC does not allow for specifying /std:c99 so we need c11. We don't rely on the
default standard because it does not allow for static struct initializers.

[bytevm][wip] new opcode CALLW, don't use lcl frame when no locals
...
CALLW calls a word from the data stack. The word differs from normal functions
in that it takes no arguments (so the call does not modify the data stack).
To allow words using the stack across calls (like in "real" forth) don't unwind
the stack on exit if there are no locals.

[wip] memory: ensure disabled interrupts in top-level operators

ecl_alloc_object, ecl_free_object
ecl_alloc, ecl_alloc_manual, ecl_alloc_atomic, ecl_dealloc
Moreover move all top-level ops to memory.d so they are not reliant on mem_gc.
The stubbed allocator uses manual memory managament for all ops.
[wip] because we should adjust ecl_make_stack too

nucleus: introduce a table with early symbols ecl_symbols
...
This table contains symbols that are essential to the core runtime: ECL_T,
ECL_UNBOUND, ECL_SIGNAL_HANDLERS, ECL_RESTART_CLUSTERs, ECL_INTERRUPTS_ENABLED,
ECL_ALLOW_OTHER_KEYS and ECL_UNBOUND.
The table is initialized with constexpr, so it is possible to use its elements
in static elements. We also add ecl_def_function to ecl-inl to allow
appropriating C functions into Lisp world at top level.

In that case we use a dummy object nogc.o that contains stubs for GC-related
