Mike Smith 780ebb4b00 Add the Ficl (Forth Inspired Command Language) interpreter. If all goes well,
this will allow us to manage bloat in the loader by using a bytecoded HLL
rather than lots of C code.  It also offers an opportunity for vendors
or others with special applications to significantly customise the boot
process without having to commit to a divergent code branch.

This early commit is to allow others to experiment with the most effective
mechanisms for integrating FICL with the loader as it currently stands.
