NASM parser bugfixes, and add support for section names that include "-"
(such as the common .note.GNU-stack section). While Yasm allows such section
names by enclosing with double-quotes, NASM allows this, so for compatibility
it makes sense for Yasm to as well.

NASM parser: change from Bison parser to hand-written recursive descent
parser with one token of lookahead. This allows for better error handling
and proper handling of things like "xxxx"/5. There may be a minor speedup
but it's probably a wash.
Still TODO:
- Unify the expression parser with the NASM preproc one.
- Change the GAS parser to recursive descent.
Only had to change one test result; this is due to re-ordering of symrec
creation versus symrec use in data expressions such as x db y. With the
Bison parser, the symrec use (y) would come first, now the symrec creation
(x) comes first.

Push down GAS .ident directive handling into objfmts. Note this makes it
such that only ELF and COFF actually handle .ident; all other object
formats silently ignore it.
In Win32/Win64, the .ident contents are dumped into the .rdata$zzz section
rather than the .comment section as in COFF and ELF; this is due to the
fact the GNU linker for Win32 is broken and puts .comment in the output
executable as a separate section, breaking the executable. The .rdata$zzz
name matches that used by GAS to work around this same linker bug.

Take [1423] to the next logical step by supporting the general case of
(sym in other section)-(sym in this section) rather than just
(sym in other section)-(curpos) (e.g. sym-$). Unfortunately supporting
this required precbc to be flowed down to the value_finalize functions,
but it's relatively reasonable to do so, as all of the _finalize() routines
have access to precbc.

GAS parser: match .file and .line handling to that of GAS. In GAS, both
.file (sans file number) and .line need to be given before error messages
start having the file/line numbers specified.
This temporarily breaks .rept error reporting somewhat (as the current code
outputs just .line for .rept expansion), but this will be fixed soon.

Support strict for immediate values, and optimize non-strict (thus some

While I'm here, fix handling of arith [], dword X in 64-bit mode by making
this an error; it's impossible to tell if add dword [], X or add qword [], X
is meant as the immediate part is always a dword. This is only important for
arith rather than other memory instructions due to dword also being needed
for optimization.
Next step: support strict for jump sizing and optimize non-strict sized
jumps.

Make common scanner fill function, as we're using it in two places already.
Actually, GAS parser doesn't use this yet, as it still contains the rept

Fix prefix order for "3-byte" instructions like the SIMD instructions.
While the F2/F3/66 prefix used by these instructions should precede the
REX prefix in 64-bit mode, they should probably not precede the segment
override. The processor specifications seem to be unclear on this point,
so play it safe.
This change has a minor side-effect of reversing the segreg/size override
ordering on things like "fs cmpsd" in 16-bit mode; this is okay as those
prefixes can be in any order. This is due to the way Yasm implements
segreg overrides for instructions with no EA.

Fix #86 by requiring '-' (e.g. "yasm -") to read from stdin, and reporting

Fix #84: I broke the idiom of concating a decimal number to a register
in the preproc (e.g mm%$x -> mm0) when I implemented a minor optimization
(outputing values in hex to avoid the 2x decimal conversion overhead) in
[1488]. Revert that optimization.
I believe the right way to do this is to add the GAS (and MASM) syntax
sugar of mm(0) etc. to NASM syntax, then any number (not just decimal)
can be used as the new idiom for doing this. But that wouldn't unbreak
programs that already exist, so we're left with this state of affairs.
Sigh.

Follow-up to #80 and #81: "xchg ax, ax" can use the short 0x90 form as
16-bit operations don't clear the high bits of the 64-bit register, so
this is effectively a NOP as well.
While I'm still looking at this, make "xchg rax, rax" not output a REX
prefix.
I thought about being extra-clever and have "xchg ax, ax" not output an
operand-size prefix, but thought better of it: if the user says "ax"
they're probably going to expect the prefix to be there. Left in as
a comment for future readers of the code.

- Labels in absolute sections that are declared global are given the correct
absolute value in the symbol table.
One difference from NASM:
label equ 0040h:001eh
jmp label
in NASM means the same as:
jmp 001eh (a near jump)
but yasm will treat this the same as:
jmp 0040h:001eh (a far jump)
I'm still not completely happy with this implementation, but it's workable
