coolguy 0132ad4135 fix: lower short catch as statements, and drop core=dynamic
Compiling okcatmov.fe's output crashed wcc386 hard enough to take DOSBox-X
down with it -- "no byte handler for write to ffffffc", emulator exit 1, the
whole suite lost rather than one case failing. `result catch fallback` in
return position lowered to `((tmp = X), tmp.e ? fallback : tmp.v)`, and with a
moved operand X is itself `(fe_live_x=0, x)`, so the compiler met a struct
assignment whose right side was a comma expression. Lower it as statements,
and clear a move flag on its own line rather than inside the assignment.

Revert core=dynamic from the previous commit. It was about 5x faster and it is
wrong: the recompiler loses abort()'s exit status, so a trapping program exits
0 and the M3 bounds cases stop reporting the trap they exist to prove. Checked
against a compiler built under core=normal, so the fault is in running the
generated program, not in building the compiler.

Also fix the build cache: BUILD.BAT puts the Watcom binaries on PATH, and
skipping it on a cache hit left the case commands without it, which silently
changed how the trap programs terminated. Reproduce that line.

Per milestone, warm cache: m1 2s, m2 5s, m3 20s, m4 7s, m5 6s, m6 14s, m7 11s.
All green, 220 cases.
