Replace COMPILE in Core with COMPLIT

After the introduction of POSTPONE
in #414 the usage of COMPILE
can be phased out.
Currently there are sequences in the core like
<CALL COMPILE><CALL target>
or<CALL COMPILE><CALLR reltarget>
The task of COMPILE
is to decode the CALL
or CALLR
assembler instruction, find target
and use CALL,
to compile a <CALL target>
or <CALLR reltarget>
at the current CP
. The COMPILE
method normally needs 5 or 6 bytes, and 4 bytes in rare cases.
These can be easily replaced with <CALL COMPLIT><target>
or <CALLR COMPLIT><target>
which normally requires 5 bytes or 4 bytes in rare cases.

It turned out that in the core <CALLR COMPLIT><target>
is not so rare.
