Not all occurrences have been replaced, in some cases they have been
left as they were before (like in rgbgfx and when they are in the
interface of a C standard library function).

This is useful to generate error messages when there is a symbol that
appears in more than one object file.

Unions allow multiple memory allocations (using ds, etc.) to share the
same space in memory.
This allows games to use the same memory for different purposes,
depending on their state.
This also adds documentation on how to use the new UNION, NEXTU, and
ENDU keywords.
If the folder where the code is compiled is a valid git repository, the
version string is generated with `git describe`. If it isn't a valid
repository, a string included in the source code is used instead. This
one must be updated regularly as the toolchain is developed.

In addition, make some formatting changes, and add some extra error handling (for when ELIF, ELSE, or ENDC are encountered without a corresponding IF).
There are two ways in which the assembly process can fail:
1. If there is a really big problem that compromises the whole process,
the assembler has to stop right there and generate an error message.
This happens with unterminated REPT loops, macros, etc.
2. If the problem isn't that big and the process can still continue,
even though the final result is invalid, the assembler can try to
continue and warn the user about all errors it finds in the code.
This patch clarifies the use of each function and replaces the function
used in two places by the correct one.

Instead of allocating 0x4000 bytes for all sections and resize them as
needed, allocate 0x8000 bytes and don't let them to be resized. This is
the max possible size (ROM0 when ROMX sections aren't present).
Buffers are not needed for RAM sections, this patch changes the code so
that it only allocates buffers for ROM sections.

rgblink option -w has been restored to its previous behaviour: make WRAM
a continous section instead of spliting it into WRAM0 and WRAMX.
To enable DMG mode, option -d has to be used instead. This option
automatically enables -w.
Update tests.

If the next release is going to break compatibility with older object
file formats it doesn't make sense to keep this.

Files can now be included with the following syntax:
INCLUDE "path.link"
The maximum include depth is 5.
Fixed linkerscript parser and lexer error messages so that they are more
informative (show file and line of the error).
Man page updated.

They work with the 16-bit registers BC, DE and HL, returning the
corresponding 8-bit register. HIGH() works with AF as well, returning A.
They also work with any kind of constant or symbol, generating a RPN
patch in the object file if the value is not defined at assembly time.
They work with macro arguments as well.

A lot of warnings are being added (and more will come) so it makes sense
to be able to disable them in legacy source that generates warnings but
is otherwise correct.

When calculating the difference of addresses between two labels, for it
to be defined, either:
- Both of them must have their absolute address defined.
- They belong to the same section, so their relative addresses are
compatible.
This patch adds a check to make sure that any other case is detected so
that the programmer can correct the code.
This applies to rgbasm. The difference of labels can be used, for
example, as argument of DS. The linker can't resize sections, which
means that the final value must be defined when creating the object
file.

This patch isn't used because it's meant to be an optimization for
labels in the memory region 0x2000-0x20FF. That memory region doesn't
have anything special on the Game Boy, and there are no instructions
optimized to read or write from there, so it was probably meant for
another hardware that was supported by ASMotor in the past.

This function produces a similar output to the other error handlers, including printing to stderr, and including a stack trace. However, ‘warning’ is displayed instead of ‘ERROR’, and the compilation does not fail.
This function is now used for the deprecation warnings, ensuring that these errors can be found.
Even though the bank number was read from the linkerscript and the
linker verified that each section could be mapped in the final rom, the
bank number was never actually set by the linkerscript parser.

To make the behaviour of the linkerscript consistent, every section read
from an object file must have an unique name. This is needed as the
linkerscript uses the name of sections to place them and it expects
every section to have a different name.
This doesn't break compatibility with the old behaviour that allowed to
continue sections if they had the same name, bank number and starting
address. That's still allowed because `rgbasm` outputs a single section
if this functionality is used, it is transparent to `rgblink`.

Previously, some instances of the number of banks for each section remained hardcoded. These have been replaced with BANK_COUNT_* constants.
As a side-effect, this could fix a theoretical bug when using BANK(label) when the label is in a high SRAM bank (≥ 4).
