cf79ceefea sms: add cursor visual indicator in VDP mode 4
This required the change of CURSOR! signature: we now supply it
with both old and new cursor positions.

Also, fix broken _bs in Grid subsystem.

b1e162b8a3 grid: change the meaning of CELL!
Replace the "g" arg (glyph) with "c" (character). The reason why "g"
was used was to save a "0x20 -" operation at all CELL! implementations,
but this came with too big a drawback: it made CELL! hardly usable
outside of the Grid subsystem, mostly because the user of CELL! would
often have to do "0x20 -".

For example, I want the SMS's Pad driver to use CELL! directly instead
of having to do EMIT+XYPOS-messing-around. I would have had to do a
"0x20 -" there.

d3049b2404 grid: add XYMODE
In VE on the SMS, the first contents line would always be cleared
because of NEWLN being called when the FBUF would spit its last
char. Inconvenient...

I've added a "graphical" mode to the grid subsystem to inhibit this
behavior in a graphical situation such as in VE.

Also, write a more complete Grid documentation.

95ab1ad588 Transform "blk/" folders into "blk.fs" text files
Working in "blk/" folder from a modern system is harder than it
should be. Moving blocks around is a bit awkward, grepping is a
bit less convenient than it could be, git blame has troubles
following, etc.

In this commit, we modify blkpack and blkunpack to work with single
text files with blocks being separated by a special markup.

I think this will make the code significantly more convenient to
work into.

d1718a90c7 sms: add support for VDP's text mode
Because that mode behaves exactly like in a regular TMS9918, a new
driver for TMS9918 has been added in blkfs and SMS' VDP now uses it.

Also, fix broken 5x7 font.

c7d8de25b2 ti84: use Grid subsystem
Also, rename CLRLN to NEWLN and make it clear that it's only called
on entering a new line. This way, we can set Z offset in there for
the TI-84+ LCD driver.

e0bcf3473e Adjust Grid subsystem
Rename ROWS to LINES (it's what VE uses). Also, don't use COLS and
LINES as immediates in the Grid subsystem: we expect those words to
be available at runtime.

b97e761942 Add Grid subsystem
The goal is to offload the SMS VDP driver a little bit.

be52fb1383 sms/vdp: fix bad mirroring
On the real machine, I ended up at some point getting a weird "bottom
mirroring" issue. It turns out that it was because when I revamped my
VDP flags in an earlier commit, I hadn't read the whole technical
notes about register $02 and falsely thought that B0 was ignored. No
it's not. When set, it mirrors the bottom 8 rows.

f09950a12a sms/vdp: clear rest of line on line feed
This allows us (in the following commit), to stop unvariably
spitting 64 chars by line in LIST. This way, short lines don't use
3 rows per line (the line number uses 3 chars, which brings us to
67 chars per line).

If we don't do that, we end up with the old contents of the line
being kept at the right of the printed line.

4b71f0a344 sms/spi: sample DO when CLK is high
I was sampling DO at the wrong moment, so my input was always
one-off.

7d568bd782 sms: simplify and solidify ports-related drivers
Add _TRA!, _THA!, _TRB!, _THB! routines to easily handle those pins'
value without stepping on other pins like the drivers previously
did. For SDC driver, it's going to be important soon because it turns
out that I can't get away with "always on" CS, so I'll need a scheme
where it's important that TH/TR pins have stable values.

7001446212 Complete overhaul of recipes
Recipes contain bits and pieces of hardware-related knowledge, but
these bits feel sparse. I've been wanting to consolidate hardware-
related documentation for a while, but always fell at odds with the
recipes organisation.

We don't have recipes anymore, just a /doc/hw section that contains
hardware-related documentation which often translate to precise
instructions to run Collapse OS on a specific machine.

With this new organisation, I hope to end up with a better, more
solid documentation.
