compiler: bug: ensure numbers externalized sanely.

* stdlib/compiler.tl (dump-to-tlo): To ensure numbers are
externalized in such a way that they will be loaded back
exactly, we need to set a few special variables. For integers,
we want *print-base* to be 10. Numbers printed in other bases
cannot be read back correctly. Octal, hex and binary could be,
but they would need to be printed with the correct prefixes.
For floating-point values, we want to switch to the default
print format, and use flo-max-dig for the precision. That one
s not not the default value; the default is flo-dig.
