7842 - new directory organization
Baremetal is now the default build target and therefore has its sources
at the top-level. Baremetal programs build using the phase-2 Mu toolchain
that requires a Linux kernel. This phase-2 codebase which used to be at
the top-level is now under the linux/ directory. Finally, the phase-2 toolchain,
while self-hosting, has a way to bootstrap from a C implementation, which
is now stored in linux/bootstrap. The bootstrap C implementation uses some
literate programming tools that are now in linux/bootstrap/tools.

So the whole thing has gotten inverted. Each directory should build one
artifact and include the main sources (along with standard library). Tools
used for building it are relegated to sub-directories, even though those
tools are often useful in their own right, and have had lots of interesting
programs written using them.

A couple of things have gotten dropped in this process:
  - I had old ways to run on just a Linux kernel, or with a Soso kernel.
    No more.
  - I had some old tooling for running a single test at the cursor. I haven't
    used that lately. Maybe I'll bring it back one day.

The reorg isn't done yet. Still to do:
  - redo documentation everywhere. All the README files, all other markdown,
    particularly vocabulary.md.
  - clean up how-to-run comments at the start of programs everywhere
  - rethink what to do with the html/ directory. Do we even want to keep
    supporting it?

In spite of these shortcomings, all the scripts at the top-level, linux/
and linux/bootstrap are working. The names of the scripts also feel reasonable.
This is a good milestone to take stock at.

-# write: like _write, but also support in-memory streams in addition to file
-# descriptors.
+# write: write to in-memory streams
 #
-# Our first dependency-injected and testable primitive. We can pass it either
-# a file descriptor or an address to a stream. If a file descriptor is passed
-# in, we _write to it using the right syscall. If a 'fake file descriptor' or
-# stream is passed in, we append to the stream. This lets us redirect output
-# in tests and check it later.
-#
-# We assume our data segment will never begin at an address shorter than
-# 0x08000000, so any smaller arguments are assumed to be real file descriptors.
-#
-# A stream looks like this:
-#   read: int  # index at which to read next
-#   write: int  # index at which writes go
-#   data: (array byte)  # prefixed by size as usual
+# We need to do this in machine code because streams need to be opaque types,
+# and we don't yet support opaque types in Mu.
