Add the option --allow-64-bit to permit the generation of 64-bit code
even for a 16/32-bit output format.
Using NASM to do some boot strapping code and ran into trouble when
trying to emit a few 64-bit instructions in the OMF object file doing
the mode switching. While I can see how the "error: obj output format
does not support 64-bit code" message can be a useful reality check
for application programmers, it prevents low-level programmers from
doing what they want. It if was just a harmless warning, it wouldn't
be so bad, but it turns BITS 64 into BITS 16. The main trick to mixing
64-bit code into OMF and other 32-bit output formats is to avoid
64-bit sized fixups, which normally isn't too hard.
[hpa: shortened the option name to --allow-64-bit, minor code cleanups]

[nosplit eax] has been encoded as [eax*1+0] since 0.98.34.
But this seems like unexpected behavior.
So only when a register is multiplied, that will be treated
as an index. ([nosplit eax*1] -> [eax*1+0])
Document is updated accordingly.

[nosplit eax+eax] was encoded [eax*2] previously but
this seems against the user's intention.
So in this case, nosplit is ignored now and [eax+eax] will be
generated.
Document is also updated accordingly.

Added bnd warning and nobnd prefix. DEFAULT directive section
has got more description about BND-related settings.

Allow specifying {vex3} or {vex2} (the latter is currently always
redundant, unless we end up with instructions at some point can be
specified with legacy prefixes or VEX) to select a specific encoding
of VEX-encoded instructions.

Quote filenames for Make when generated for filenames internally.
Only skip quoting when using the -MT option (rather than -MQ).

The NASM 2.09 preprocessor allows some illogical constructs, but which
unfortunately has been found in real code in the field. We need
a compatibility solution or a pragma before we can avoid that.
However, we need the other features in NASM 2.10 to come out, so
revert the preprocessor changes for now.

The default page-centered position doesn't work too well with the
title and the new logo, so move the new logo down the page a bit.
