afb2e084af docs: Finch's self-hosting gap, as it stands
Sized numbers, methods, defer, errors as values and maps are now in the
self-hosted compiler; C import is the one piece left.

9c729edac1 Cheaper cursor, a fortify panic that names its function; Finch's gap
The cursor now costs nothing for a byte inside an escape sequence and
one cell fewer for a plain glyph: the grid is the truth, so the old
cursor cell is repainted after the byte, and not at all when a glyph
has just been drawn over it.

__fortify_panic says "r8169: rtl_open.cold+0x..." through ldlsd's module
list, so a photograph of the screen is enough, and exits instead of
spinning on a core and holding /dev/netdev.

docs/plan/finch.md: only integrating Finch is later; finishing it is
not. The self-hosting gap measured against Finch's own bootstrap test.

2651ff2169 docs: Finch, the author's language, for SchOS's own programs
A plan, deferred behind the 1.0 freeze like everything else here: what
Finch is today (measured from its repository: LLVM, self-hosting boot/
compiler, C import, targets), what SchOS would need, and the open
question of what "finishing" it means.
