Add flag to rgbasm to disable LD->LDH optimization

rgbasm tries to optimize any loads from/to $FF00-$FFFF and generate
LDH 2-byte opcodes instead of regular LD 3-byte opcodes. This is a bit
inconsistent as it only works for constant values. If a load is trying
to access a label in a HRAM floating section, or a section found in a
different object file, this optimization doesn't work.

This means that a simple refactor or code could allow rgbasm to perform
the optimzation or prevent it from doing so. For certain projects, like
disassemblies, this is a problem.

This patch adds flag -L to rgbasm to disable the optimization, and
doesn't change the behaviour of any other existing code.
