5c25cf2266 [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.

4f85401d43 [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.

10a0e2f847 [bytevm][wip] bytevm: allocate stack manually
wip tag because:

- we don't free tha stack (we use alloc_memory)

b607796113 [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

4de3f36ee1 memory: move resource pools from reader.d to memory.d
si_get_buffer_string is used in a few places, and gneerally it is more
appropriate to put resources in memory.

c050ea3803 memory: reify the type_info database
We store information about the object size, its pointers and name. This
information is later reused by the garbage collector.

384107b0d0 memory: move ecl_alloc_adjustable_*_string to memory.d

b0b3361451 memory: move ecl_cons to memory.d

1cdaf35d54 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.

536286125e garbage: allow for building ecl without bdwgc and with nogc
In that case we use a dummy object nogc.o that contains stubs for GC-related
functions. It also defines a substitute module.

7a7e14d0ef process: abstract away create thread, exit thread and sigmask
Previously we've opencoded calls to these functions, although they may be nicely
abstracted with static inline functions. This change improves code readibility
and portability.

99921d340b modules: [1/n] introduce ecl_module_gc
We also remove conditionalization for garbage collector inclusion in autotools.
When we propose an alternative gc, then we may decide to put them back, or to
add necessary ifdef statements directly in files.

Moreover untangle c-stack from the gc code and assign the stack base with a
rough guess only when it is not initialized yet (GC will always fill it).

Finally remove a kludge from ecl_adopt_cpu and disable colleciton until the cpu
is fully initialized.

4e860d86bc signals: define *SIGNAL-HANDLERS* in cold_boot
I've also renamed *HANDLER-CLUSTERS* to a more appropriate *SIGNAL-HANDLERS*.
Currently this symbol is imported to the SYSTEM package, although this may be
revised in the future to cater to multiple global environments. Alternatively
the SYSTEM package may be common to all runtimes.

7c99f775c6 signals: rewrite signal handling to use functions and not lists
Instead of storing lists in *HANDLER-CLUSTERS*, we define functions that are
called unconditionally on the handler. HANDLER-BIND defines that function to be
a typecase that is dispatched based on the conditiont type, as specified by CL.

This change will aid further refactor.
