[Vm-dev] CogVM Execution Flow

In trying to understand the flow of execution (and in particular the
jumps in the jitted VM, I made a first rough pass to map it in the
attached chart.

I am trying to colourize it to distinguish between paths that can
return to the interpreter, those that circulate in jitted code, and
the transitions.  I'm sure I've missed the mark a bit but its a start.
Of course corrections welcome, even scanned pen sketches.
