Allow non-identifier characters in the name of environment variables,
by surrounding them with string quotes (subject to ordinary
string-quoting rules.)

We still miss Chuck, but I don't think we can really say anymore we're
doing this particular release in his memory.
Requiescat in pace, our friend.

Make -Ox the default; it's the optimization level expected by most
users, and it is clearly still causing confusion that it has to be
specified manually.

We've a problem in supporting [i]rmacro, exitmacro
facilities at moment.
In a sake of not holding new NASM release any longer these
directives are just marked as being "forbidden".
This allow us to not squash much changes in current source
code base but remain on a safe side same time.

This reverts commit 3012d5d430.
nasm64developer pointed out that we still have this
limit in label.c (IDLEN_MAX).

We always allocate enough memory to hold identifiers
with any length. So lets remove restriction from
documentation.

double backslash. Also add mention of release candidates and
snapshots.

We seem to use the term "extensions" to mean anything that is specific
to an object format, so continue to do so.

Add support for directly generating Intel hex or Motorola S-records.
These formats are commonly used with ROM burners.

Move backend-specific code into the output/ directory, and make the
null debugging backend a separate file (it certainly isn't needed for
ndisasm...)

Add something approaching real ELF header files.
Begin merging the common ELF code, beginning with the section name
detection.
Drop automatic generation of .comment section, and in particular the
treatment of .common as a special section (if we decide generating
.comment is still a good idea, we should just do it as a macro.)
Augment the list of known sections, and make it table-driven.

I realized that a documentation change is required to inform users about the
addition of entry point support for the as86 format. The following produces
reasonable output for .txt output, but I am blind and so can't check the
other formats as readily.
The implication that %line allows NASM to digest cpp output is just
plain wrong, at least without additional intermediate processing. Be
a little more circumspect.

Minimize the TLS documentation examples (we don't need "dword" in a
mov from ebx, for example.) This is just to avoid user confusion.

Explicitly document that %[...] and macro parameters concatenate the
same way, and cross-reference the two.
