This huge refactoring remove the Seek and Tell routine from blockdev
implementation requirements and change GetC and PutC's API so that they
take an address to read and write (through HL/DE) at each call.
The "PTR" approach in blockdev implementation was very redundant from
device to device and it made more sense to generalize. It's possible
that future device aren't "random access", but we'll be able to add more
device types later.
Another important change in this commit is that the "blockdev handle" is
now opaque. Previously, consumers of the API would happily call routines
directly from one of the 4 offsets. We can't do that any more. This
makes the API more solid for future improvements.
This change forced me to change a lot of things in fs, but overall,
things are now simpler. No more `FS_PTR`: the "device handle" now holds
the active pointer.
Lots, lots of changes, but it also feels a lot cleaner and solid.
Move load/save to blkdev_cmds and add a new "poke" builtin shell cmd
that is the mirror of "peek" and strictly uses stdio (no blkdev
involved).
This allows us to slim the minimal OS size but, more importantly, change
the behavior of "load" so that we don't expect GetC to block until Z is
set. This way, using "load X" with X being larger than the blkdev size
won't block forever.
This also brings our RC2014 minimal kernel below the 1K mark again.
The pgm module implements a shell hook so that when an unknown command
is typed, we look into the mounted filesystem and look for a file with
the same name as the command. If we find one, we load it in memory and
run it.
This allows us to break through the 64K limit for includes CFS in zasm,
a limit we were dangerously close to breaking. In fact, this commit
makes us go over that limit. Right in time!
