91f79d1131 Move z80a from B200 to B5
The idea is to consider assemblers as "runtime" apps instead of
placing them in the "bootstrap" section of the blocks. These apps
will be used for much more than bootstrapping.

Moved its documentation to doc/asm.txt and made its code blocks
more compact.

f6ded7712e VE: add 't'
This is the first commit I do entirely in VE. It's a habit I'm planning
on taking as it helps a lot to find usability issues.

ed2b91411a Limit ourselves to 8-bit branching
I'm planning on going back to 8-bit branching. 16-bit br cells incur
a non-negligible penalty and, while at first 64 words (128 bytes
forward or backward) seemed a bit limiting, I now don't see why one
would ever construct such a big branch. It would be un-forthy.

Also, I looked at using BC instead of IY to hold IP and the transition
would be a lot easier with 8-bit branching.

In this commit, all I do is add overflow checks in IF. The mechanic
below doesn't change. I'll give myself some time to think it over so
that I avoid yet another back and forth.
