84a9e308c3 doc: Update -O option description 
We use -Ox by default since Nasm-2.09 so "-O0" is not
longer "default" option. But first paragraph still has
the reference which confuses people. Get rid of it.

e091d6ed62 BR3041451: Implement upper bound for %rep counter 
Since %rep counter is a 64 bit signed integer we have to use some
"maximum possible value" limit (upper bound) otherwise there may be
a situation when %rep counter is 0 or even negative while user
has been passing big positive integer value.

Victor van den Elzen
ac732cb6a5 Improve process_ea and introduce -OL 
Two fixes:
1. Optimization of [bx+0xFFFF] etc
   0xFFFF is an sbyte under 16-bit semantics,
   so make sure to check it right.

2. Don't optimize displacements in -O0
   Displacements that fit into an sbyte or
   can be removed should *not* be optimized in -O0.

   Implicit zero displacements are still optimized, e.g.:
   [eax] -> 0 bit displacement, [ebp] -> 8 bit displacement.
   However explicit displacements are not optimized:
   [eax+0] -> 32 bit displacement, [ebp+0] -> 32 bit displacement.

Because #2 breaks compatibility with 0.98,
I introduced a new optimization level: -OL, legacy.

2581c869b1 Decouple forward references from optimization 
Users who wish to control the level of optimization can
continue to specify -O0, -O1, or -Ox,
where x can be the letter itself, or any number > 1.

However, even with optimization turned off,
NASM will always make enough passes to resolve
forward references. As a result, INCBIN is now the only
item left in the critical expressions list, although TIMES
still has its own constant value check.

2ce0274303 Use a 32-bit floating-point limb size; support 8-bit float 
Use a 32-bit limb size ("like a digit, but bigger") for floating-point
conversion.  This cuts the number of multiplications per constant by a
factor of four.

This means supporting fractional-limb-sized numbers, so while we're at
it, add support for 8-bit floating point numbers (apparently used in
graphics and in audio compression applications.)
