Fixed backpatching of forward jumps.
Implemented LOOP, WHILE, REPEAT (temporarily known as SPREPEAT).

Known bug: Expression evaluation still not quite ok (e.g. "x > 0"),
which is why IF and CASE is not yet implemented.

Implements creation and dropping of PROCEDUREs, IN, OUT, and INOUT parameters,
single-statement procedures, rudimentary multi-statement (begin-end) prodedures
(when the client can handle it), and local variables.
Missing most of the embedded SQL language, all attributes, FUNCTIONs, error handling,
reparses procedures at each call (no caching), etc, etc.
Certainly buggy too, but procedures can actually be created and called....
