H. Peter Anvin d81a235f33 file: improve the file access interface
A number of fairly common operations are invoked way too many times,
especially when using incbin.  Drastically reduce the number of system
calls that need to be executed, and use memory mapping to reduce
unnecessary double buffering.

We could improve this further by leaving files open once used;
however, that might run into file count problems on some systems.

Still unclear is why we seem to invoke nasm_file_size() twice per pass
for incbin.

              NASM, the Netwide Assembler.

Many many developers all over the net respect NASM for what it is
- a widespread (thus netwide), portable (thus netwide!), very
flexible and mature assembler tool with support for many output
formats (thus netwide!!).

Now we have good news for you: NASM is licensed under the "simplified"
(2-clause) BSD license.  This means its development is open to even
wider society of programmers wishing to improve their lovely
assembler.

The NASM project is now situated at SourceForge.net, the most
popular Open Source development site on the Internet.
