Virgil Dupras b745f49186 Rename blockdev's API routines to GetB/PutB 
The goal is to avoid mixing those routines with "character devices"
(acia, vpd, kbd) which aren't block devices and have routines that
have different expectations.

This is a first step to fixing #64.

User applications

This folder contains code designed to be "userspace" application. Unlike the kernel, which always stay in memory. Those apps here will more likely be loaded in RAM from storage, ran, then discarded so that another userspace program can be run.

That doesn't mean that you can't include that code in your kernel though, but you will typically not want to do that.

Userspace convention

We execute a userspace application by calling the address it's loaded into. This means: a userspace application is expected to return.

Whatever calls the userspace app (usually, it will be the shell), should set HL to a pointer to unparsed arguments in string form, null terminated.

The userspace application is expected to set A on return. 0 means success, non-zero means error.
