Fix case where \\ needs to be written as \\\\ in order to appear as a
double backslash. Also add mention of release candidates and
snapshots.

It isn't just invalid UTF-8 sequences that are affected; it is in fact
any high-bit bytes (we don't ever try to construct UTF-8 characters,
just deconstruct them.)

Revert to original %+ behavior. This is what we really wanted in the
first place, except this time we have fixed some bugs.

Update user-visible changes so far. Since I consider the license
change alone to be big enough of a deal to justify a "real" version
number, make this version 2.07.

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.

This adds copyright verbiage to the Perl scripts. Scripts that are
known to be clean w.r.t. the 2-clause BSD license are given that
license; unclear ones are given the "LGPL for now".

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

Eliminiate hard-coded section numbers, at least to the best of our
ability. There is still a very odd piece of computation in
elf_build_reltab() which I can't really figure out...

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.
