feat(v4.0.0): the prompt -- QUIT, ABORT, ABORT" and ."

Layer 5 of the compiler capsule.  The host node is now started at QUIT and
left running: it prompts, reads a line from its console with QUERY,
interprets it, says " ok" or " ERROR", and goes round again.

- capsule/quit.v4: QUIT and ABORT (FORTH-79), ABORT" and (ABORT") as v3 has
  them, ." and (.") (FORTH-79).  Text is compiled as a counted string after
  the call; the run-time word returns to the cell after it.
- INTERPRET prints v3's messages before abandoning a line:
  UNKNOWN WORD: 'xxx' and xxx: compile-only.
- core.v4: CR SPACE COUNT TYPE, as DECOMPOSITION.md gives them.
- input.v4: WORD split so that (PARSE) can take text without skipping
  leading delimiters (." " is an empty string); EXPECT keeps its place in
  memory, so six values may wait on the stack while a line is typed.
- tests/test_host_quit.c: the node is fed characters and its output read;
  16 sessions are transcripts of the v3 binary.

QUIT stops the line from inside any word and says nothing; v3's goes on
with the line and cannot be compiled.  v3's compiled ABORT" crashes.
