+mink, the current virtual nock interpreter, has a couple of problems.
1. it propagates blocks as a list of paths, which is inconsistent with
the way the jet behaves (only a single path is ever blocked on, with
exception semantics).
2. +mush was not updated after the change to molds to crash instead of
bunting. it crashes when not given the right kind of data, which is
inconsistent with the intended semantics of ++mink.
3. it "eats" hints, causing (for example) slogs to disappear when running
without a mink jet.
4. the naming/style was typically cryptic. since +mink will never really
be run, one could argue that its primary purpose is to be read.
+mino (which will be renamed to +mink after some staging) has had its
return type (+tono, to be renamed +tone) modified in the block case so
that it only blocks on one path, has a corrected +mush, carefully
"passes through" all hints to the underlying interpreter, and has more
meaningful names, with the intention of improving readability.
A generator (gen/mino.hoon) is also included in this commit; it contains
tests that were used during the development of +mino. It should be removed
before integration, and is included for posterity. The stack trace semantics
are expected to change in the near future (since they are dependent on jets
faithfully preserving the stack pushes of the pure nock, an onerous burden).
They are, however, tested in gen/mino.hoon, which makes it unsuitable as a
long-term test.
The ivory pill had not been rolled after the last changes to zuse,
meaning that you could no longer boot a ship. Also fixes .gitignore
so as to not hide old build artifacts which could interfere with
picking up changes to the ivory pill.

Enables .^ in +mule (statically-typed virtualization), by specifying a
scry-handler function that punts the namespace read to a higher
virtualization layer via virtual-nock (mock) 12.
