837ad45177 The compiler carries its runtime and std inside itself; host module for the system it runs on
src/embedded.fch (made by tools/pack.fch, checked by tests/run.sh) holds runtime/finch_rt.c and std/; when they aren't
beside the binary they're written to the cache folder once. All the sh/cmd specifics of the driver (quoting, temp dir,
mkdir, rm, mv, null device, path separator, cache dir, binary stdio) moved into host.fch / host_windows.fch.

b9378050ab The compiler is written in Finch, and nothing else: src/*.fch, built from a seed
boot/ is src/ now. The C++ compiler and CMake are gone from this branch (they are on before-bootstrap).
bootstrap/build.sh builds the compiler from bootstrap/<system>.ll -- the compiler's own LLVM IR -- then builds
it with itself and checks the two come out identical. bootstrap/build.sh seed writes the seed anew.

The driver is complete: the runtime is compiled once and kept in ~/.cache/finch; a program's own C files,
.o and .a files and frameworks link along; a linker failure is read and answered with  link "lib"  or the
library that is missing. The old tests/fail diagnostics are all in again (a missing import, a str compared with
null, 'write just the library's name', a map key that is a float, non-ASCII names, ...).

tests/run.sh is the one test runner: programs, refusals, -g builds and the shared library. 106 passed.
