Add knapsack exercise

[ErikSchierboom]

Another weird one. When I run the test code in a REPL, they're fine:

For example

"example.8th" f:include G:reset  10 [{"weight": 2, "value": 5}, {"weight": 2, "value": 5}, {"weight": 2, "value": 5}, {"weight": 2, "value": 5}, {"weight": 10, "value": 21}] maximum-value .s
 0 n: 000000010c6f4e50 2  21

and

"example.8th" f:include G:reset 10 [{"weight": 2, "value": 20}, {"weight": 2, "value": 20}, {"weight": 2, "value": 20}, {"weight": 2, "value": 20}, {"weight": 10, "value": 50}] maximum-value .s
 0 n: 000000010c6f4a90 3  80

But when I run bin/test-no-docker -r knapsack the tests fail. I see two possible problems:

• Working with maps somehow trips things up, as I also suspected this to fail food-chain
• Our test library messes things up when using maps

I'm at a loss how to fix it. Could you please take a look?

I'll try to dig into it this evening.

This might be the same problem with JSON literals that I saw in phone-number: repeating the same sequence produces different results.

Thanks @glennj for your help!

I take all questions like that to the 8th forum. Ron is very helpful
