51904e2687 Improve Python and Linenoise
This change reinvents all the GNU Readline features I discovered that I
couldn't live without, e.g. UTF-8, CTRL-R search and CTRL-Y yanking. It
now feels just as good in terms of user interface from the subconscious
workflow perspective. It's real nice to finally have an embeddable line
reader that's actually good with a 30 kb footprint and a bsd-2 license.

This change adds a directory to the examples folder, explaining how the
new Python compiler may be used.  Some of the bugs with Python binaries
have been addressed but overall it's still a work in progress.

9e3e985ae5 Make terminal ui binaries work well everywhere
Here's some screenshots of an emulator tui program that was compiled on
Linux, then scp'd it to Windows, Mac, and FreeBSD.

How is this even possible that we have a nontrivial ui binary that just
works on Mac, Windows, Linux, and BSD? Surely a first ever achievement.

Fixed many bugs. Bootstrapped John McCarthy's metacircular evaluator on
bare metal in half the size of Altair BASIC (about 2.5kb) and ran it in
emulator for fun and profit.
