Since we use 127 not 0 for end of line in stdmac packages now, we
can't simply use the __USE_*__ macro as a string to test for a %use
package. Keep an internal array of state instead.
Fix the stripping of comments from lines in macro files.

Handle up to 160 directives for stdmac compression. This is done by
allowing the directive numbers to wrap around (128-255, 0-31), using
127 for end of line, and forcing any whitespace character to be space.
Make macros.c a bit more legible by using #defines for the byte codes;
strictly for the benefit of the human reader.

Very limited MASM emulation.
The parser has been extended to emulate the PTR keyword if the
corresponding macro is enabled, and the syntax displacement[index] for
memory operations is now recognized.

Clean up some perl warnings, some of which were legitimate (apparently
undef doesn't actually take a list of arguments, a common enough
mistake that it is mentioned in the man page!, and a list of variables
after "my" can be cantankerous), and some of which were nuisance but
were easy enough to clean up.
Maybe this can resolve the problems with very old version of Perl?

All directives which create single-line macros now have %i... variants
to define case-insensitive versions. Case insensitive rather sucks,
but at least this way it is consistent.
Single-line macro parameters can now be evaluated as a number, as done
by %assign. To do so, declare a parameter starting with =, for
example:
%define foo(x,=y) mov [x],macro_array_y
... would evaluate y as a number but leave x as a string.
NOTE: it would arguably be better to have this as a per-instance
basis, but it is easily handled by having a secondary macro called
with the same argument twice.
Finally, add a more consistent method for defining "magic" macros,
which need to be evaluated at runtime. For now, it is only used by the
special macros __FILE__, __LINE__, __BITS__, __PTR__, and __PASS__.
__PTR__ is a new macro which evaluates to word, dword or qword
matching the value of __BITS__.
The magic macro framework, however, provides a natural hook for a
future plug-in infrastructure to hook into a scripting language.

sectalign on|off is documented to only affect the align/alignb
directives, *not* an explicit sectalign directive. This is fairly
obviously the proper behavior, so make it work accordingly.

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.)

We need to always define the end symbol, otherwise we might find
ourselves in a situation where the alignment code grows (common!) and
then the symbol is defined late.

The 2-operand form was inherently unsafe. Use the 3-operand form
instead, which guarantees that arbitrary filenames are supported.
This also means we can remove a few instances of sysopen() which was
used for exactly this reason, however, at least in theory sysopen()
isn't portable.

The ordering of the macro sets ended up changing due to the recent
file reorganization. Instead of forcing the order again, handle
multiple macro sets (rather than just two) in a coherent manner.
macros/macros.pl could use a cleanup of duplicated code, however.

There is no reason why the warning-generating ilog2 has to be only the
floor variant. However, I am pretty sure we can simply implement the
ilog2cw() as a macro only; we can always fix that if that turns out to
be incorrect.

When running in preprocess-only mode generate the equivalent of
standard alignment using nops. This at the very least allows some
kind of reasonable output and allows for dependency generation to
proceed; the only way to *really* address this problem is to move
alignment generation into the assembler proper; this would also allow
the align/alignb distinction to be removed and handle padding with
instructions which are more than one byte.
This should resolve bug 3392319.

Add general support in the function parser for "integer functions"
(actually implemented as special unary operators, then wrapped in
macros) and implement a family of integer logarithms. The only
difference is the behavior on a non-power-of-two argument:
ilog2[e] -- throw an error
ilog2w -- throw a warning
ilog2f -- round down to power of 2
ilog2c -- round up to power of 2
This is useful for back-converting from masks to bit values.

This change may have backward compatibility issue but
most probably the sane program never used sections with
base address less then instruction alignment.
Note that alignment may only increase which means if a
section is aligned on 2^5 the align 2^4 will not affect
the section.

Apparently the current recommendation is for a smaller threshold when
using the "generic"-style alignment macros (short jumps are cheaper on
newer CPUs.)
Also change the alignment threshold definition to reflect the maximum
number of padding instead of when to start using jumps.
Add a builtin equivalent to the %include directive called %use.
%use includes a standard macro file compiled into the binary; these
come from the macros/ directory in the source code.
The idea here is to be able to provide optional macro packages with
the distribution, without adding complex host filesystem dependencies.
