[hacknews] awk syntax checker arrives

I have tidied up and installed Bill Tuthill's awk syntax checker as awkc(1).
It's invoked just like awk, and invokes awk to execute the program if no
errors are found.  Note that it checks only programs given with the -f
option; it doesn't check an awk program given on the command line.
