Finch 2.4.0: methods, maps, errors as values; str() of any value; macOS and ARM64 docs; Kate support

- fn Struct.method(...) with self by reference, also on C structs
- map[K]V: insertion-ordered hash maps, literals, m[k] += 1, has/get/remove/keys/values
- -> T! / -> !, return error(...), or <value>, or { err }, try; fallible int/float/read_file/write_file/delete_file
- for i, x in list / for k, v in map
- print and str() share one text formatter
- LSP: method and map completion, method signatures; grammar and snippets for VS Code and Kate
- tests: 74 (methods, errors, maps + 11 failure cases); docs at all three levels, en and pl
