Currently, NASM always issues as an unknown symbol any symbol declared
EXTERN. This is highly undesirable when using common header files,
as it might cause the linker to pull in a bunch of unnecessary
modules, depending on how smart the linker is.
Add a new REQUIRED directive which behaves like the old EXTERN, for
the use cases which might still need this behavior.

Add a %pragma to set (or clear) listing options. It only takes effect
on the next assembly pass, however!

Make any "deadman"-style execution limit configurable on the command
line (--limit-foo) or via a pragma (%pragma limit foo).

In order to support Mach-O better, add support for subsections, as
used by Mach-O "subsections_via_symbols". We also want to add
infrastructure to support this by downcalling to the backend to
indicate if a new subsection is needed.
Currently this supports a maximum of 2^14 subsections per section for
Mach-O; this can be addressed by adding a level of indirection (or
cleaning up the handling of sections so we have an actual data
structure.)

Some OMF toolchain can make use of file dependency information
embedded in the object files. As implemented here, we don't try to
absolutize the filenames, as that prevents moving around trees and is
OS-dependent.

Make the internal handling of segment numbers just a little more
sane. The whole use of when we have done ofmt->segbase or not is
crazy, though...
In the meantime, add a few more hacks to the dbg output format to make
it more useful.

Add a generic facility for generating perfect string hashes, where all
that is needed is an enum and a string table. The existing mechanism
using a custom Perl script wrapped around a module continues to be
available for any use case where this particular approach isn't
sophisticated enough.
Much of this patch comes from renaming "enum directives" to "enum
directive" as a result of the string hash generator expecting a set of
uniform naming conventions.

A raw data dump can potentially be very large, especially when
incbin is used. Allow a %pragma for setting the maximum dump
size (defaults to 128 bytes.)

Implement the MachO do_dead_strip directive, which sets a flag on the
corresponding section. This as well as subsections_by_symbols are
reimplemented as pragmas; if someone uses the predefined macro they
still get the expected behavior.
However, this allows someone to write:
%pragma macho subsections_by_symbols
... and have it ignored if compiling for, say, ELF.
Also, implement the following section attributes:
zerofill, no_dead_strip, live_support, strip_static_syms

Very few things have any desire to do its own string parsing, and the
directives hash is already a plain string-to-numbers O(1) hash. The
namespace is small enough that even if it makes some switch statements
compile a bit larger there is no real reason to have separate hashes,
even if the actual code as opposed to the data structure was shared.
So, for right now, just throw them together in one big happy pot.

The "subsection_via_symbols" directive simply sets a flag in the

Plumb the %pragma directive through the preprocessor and make it
generate an assembly directive unless given as %pragma preproc. So
far no actual pragmas are actually defined.
