Virgil Dupras 1ae2331763 Add zasm app
For now, only a dummy app, but it's emulated properly with libz80.
Exciting times!

# z80 assembler
This is probably the most critical part of the Collapse OS project. If this app
can be brought to completion, it pretty much makes the project a success because
it ensures self-reproduction.
## Running on a "modern" machine
To be able to develop zasm efficiently, [libz80][libz80] is used to run zasm
on a modern machine. The code lives in `emul` and ran be built with `make`,
provided that you have a copy libz80 living in `emul/libz80`.
The resulting `zasm` binary takes asm code in stdin and spits binary in stdout.
