Tachikoma a583fb4b77 Take libakerror 2.0.1, and guard the exit status it fixes
2.0.0 makes the error pool and the status registry thread safe, and it is an ABI
break carrying the soname to libakerror.so.2. The break is a quiet one:
__akerr_last_ignored became thread-local and akerr_next_error() now returns a
context that already holds a reference, so objects compiled against a 1.x header
and linked against 2.x count every reference twice and never give a slot back.
Nothing about that fails to link, which is exactly what a guard is for --
include/akbasic/error.h feature-tests AKERR_THREAD_SAFE instead of
AKERR_FIRST_CONSUMER_STATUS, which 2.0.0 also still defines and which therefore
no longer distinguishes anything.

2.0.1 is the release this band needed most. The default unhandled-error handler
ended in exit(errctx->status), and a process exit status is one byte:
AKBASIC_ERR_BASE is 512, and 512 truncates to 0, so an unhandled
AKBASIC_ERR_SYNTAX reported success to anything watching $?. Every other code in
the band came out as some unrelated error's number. akerr_exit() substitutes 125
for anything a byte cannot carry, and a probe raising AKBASIC_ERR_DEVICE through
FINISH_NORETURN now exits 125 rather than 7.

It was latent here rather than live -- src/main.c handles the context and returns
EXIT_FAILURE, and every test with a top-level ATTEMPT carries a HANDLE_DEFAULT --
but "no caller relies on it today" is not a property a header can keep true.
tests/version_check.c asserts the mapping and fails if AKBASIC_ERR_BASE ever
stops truncating to zero, because that is the day this stops being about our base.

Chapter 10 gains a threading section: libakerror is safe from any thread now, and
this interpreter is not and has no lock anywhere in it.

* libakerror 2.0.0 is the floor, raised from 1.0.0 because 2.0.0 is an ABI break
* that a compile against the wrong header cannot survive quietly:
*
* - `__akerr_last_ignored` became thread-local. `IGNORE` expands at *our* call
* site, so our objects reference that symbol under whichever storage model
* the header on the include path declared.
* - `akerr_next_error()` now returns a context that already holds a reference,
* and `ENSURE_ERROR_READY` no longer increments. Objects compiled against a
* 1.x header count every reference twice and never give a slot back.
*
* Neither is a compile error. Both are a pool that leaks or a use-after-free,
* which is exactly the class of mismatch a guard is for.
*
* libakerror still publishes no version macro, so this feature-tests on
* AKERR_THREAD_SAFE, which 2.0.0 introduced and writes into the generated header
* as 1 or 0 -- so `#ifndef` is the right test and `#if` is not. It replaces the
* AKERR_FIRST_CONSUMER_STATUS test this carried for 1.0.0, which 2.0.0 also
* still defines and which therefore no longer distinguishes anything.
