A look with a blank in its pattern addresses, file:N selects the line, and a miss is said, logged and reads back empty

Round 6: look calc.py:/return a/ was a word search, since a blank ended the address; calc.py:99 past the end focused the file and said nothing; and /look still read back the pane before a miss. A pattern after the colon may now hold blanks; file:N selects the line, newline included, as acme's does; a line past the end opens and focuses nothing; and every miss (no match, a bad address, a line past the end) says so, logs err <serial> look: why, keeps the selection, and leaves look reading back empty. Documented, with file:0/re/ for the first match, since acme evaluates the address from the file's dot. Five goldens change: a look at file:N now selects the line.
