runtime: fix missing newline when dumping bad symbol table

were missing the line break after each symbol, resulting in one
gigantic line instead of a nicely formatted table.

test/fibo: a stand-alone bignum/allocation benchmark and test

Usage:
fibo <n>        compute fibonacci(n), n must be >= 0
fibo -bench     benchmark fibonacci computation (takes about 1 min)

Additional flags:
-half           add values using two half-digit additions
-opt            optimize memory allocation through reuse
-short          only print the first 10 digits of very large fibonacci numbers

runtime: restore error message on early needm

needm used to print an error before exiting when it was called too
early, but this error was lost in the transition to Go.  Bring back
the error so we don't silently exit(1) when this happens.
