[m-dev.] for review: bytecode interpreter

[Levi Cameron]

Estimated hours taken: About a week

  Now that I have started on the actual interpreter instead of
  just support code, this is the beginnings of the new bytecode
  interpreter. Probably just over half the code is the same or a
  superficially modified revision of the old one.

mb_bytecode
Almost identical. Only real change is made MB_read_cstring not use
any static variables

mb_disasm
Again, code very similar. Changed all the functions to write to a
buffer instead of a file and to allow for bytecode indenting. Output
format string for some instructions changed (hopefully more menaingful
than just a dump of numbers)

mb_machine
(completely different from old machine.c)
The actual part that contains an abstract machine.
 The rest is really just support code.
The instruction_table array is how instructions are dispatched. Look
at instr_xxxx for the actual interpreter code. Not all instructions
are implemented. MB_step and MB_run execute the actual
 interpreting code

mb_machine_show
displays output showing the state of the machine

mb_mem
Identical to old mem apart from file name changes

mb_util
took out strdup (not needed) and changed some comments

mb_stack
word based stack that will reallocate itself if it needs to

mbi
front end for bytecode interpreter

mdis
disassembles a file and dumps it to the screen
