feat(v4.0.0): the text assembler lays down dictionary headers

'header NAME [flags]' in front of a word gives it a dictionary entry in
the layout capsule/dict.v4 uses, linked to the header before it, so the
words of a capsule are in the dictionary as soon as it is assembled.
The name is taken as it stands (it may be ( or + or ;) and the
assembler's own name for the code may differ.

Tested in the assembler's own test, and by FIND and the field words
running over assembler-made entries beside ones (HEADER) made.
