Port the standalone SDL frontend, and give the sink a line editor

Browse Source

An AKGL build of `basic` was a terminal program with unused SDL linked into
it. It now opens the reference's 800x600 window, draws BASIC output in the
Commodore font, pumps events, lets you type at it, and still mirrors every
byte to stdout.

The stdout mirror is a composing sink rather than a second write inside the
interpreter, and lives in the core library where it needs no SDL. The line
editor waits for a typed line by borrowing one frame at a time from the host,
so nothing blocks and nothing owns an event loop it should not.

The whole golden corpus now runs through the SDL binary as well as the stdio
one, byte for byte.
