Onle one change here but wrong instruction encoding is
pretty serious error which desrves to go into new stable
release.

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.

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.
Allow non-identifier characters in the name of environment variables,
by surrounding them with string quotes (subject to ordinary
string-quoting rules.)

Make -Ox the default; it's the optimization level expected by most
users, and it is clearly still causing confusion that it has to be
specified manually.

Due to previous commit empty line was occasionally
removed which make text harder to read. Restore it.

We've a problem in supporting [i]rmacro, exitmacro
facilities at moment.
In a sake of not holding new NASM release any longer these
directives are just marked as being "forbidden".
This allow us to not squash much changes in current source
code base but remain on a safe side same time.

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.

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.
