Factor for OpenBSD/amd64

Kernigh's fork adds an openbsd-x86-64 target to Factor. There are still some bugs, but some things work here that did not work with Factor 0.94.

Factor 0.94 was the last upstream version to run with OpenBSD. Commit 75cba31, of 2 November 2011, deleted OpenBSD (and FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris) from upstream Factor. This fork restores OpenBSD support to Factor.

Current status

• You can build vm, build factor.image and run Factor.
• The vm is not stable; a make-test always crashes the vm.
• The ui is slow to redraw.
• F2 refresh of vocabularies is broken. (It was also broken in Factor 0.94.) There is no file monitor, so F2 never detects changes to vocabularies. You can use "name of vocabulary" reload to reload a vocabulary.
