FDISK parsing, dynamic memory allocator

The snapshot as of today has code to find partition type 158 and set
up the ForthOS disk services to make this partition the base for block
I/O.

The boot code now parses the Multiboot information to get memory
configuration. bkalloc and friends have become a system service; dynamic
memory is carved from the top of memory downard. Dynamic memory is NOT a
part of a system snapshot (with unexec); it is always initialized at bootup.
