Updated the way built-in commands are called/used
Previously, built-in commands were fairly primitive, merely outputting STDOUT and STDERR with the print! macros. However, we need them to behave like normal programs, that is: - Acknowledge their verse's meter (forking, piping, etc.), - Ability to capture STDOUT and STDERR (>, 2>), - and Affect the currently running environment. For these reasons, the anthology was reworked, and now contains the Anthology struct, which mimics both std::process::{Child, Command}. The AnthologyStdin helper struct was also created, for built-ins to take input on STDIN, though no built-in is currently using it. Each built-ins' incant functions were updated to return a std::process::Output. It contains output from STDOUT, output from STDERR, and the exit code of the "process". A fix was also implemented for aliases, where the STDOUT and STDERR vectors were not being copied to the newly constructed verse.
Notes
Notes: There is some cleanup that needs to happen on this patch. For one, the spellcheck function is no longer being used, so there is a generic OS error if the program cannot be found in the $PATH. Also, anthology::lookup gets called twice, which shouldn't need to happen.
