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.

IMPORT is simply useless, any symbol that isn't found in the current
file is automatically flagged as imported symbol.

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).
Aligned sections can now be created with out_NewAlignedSection(). This information is stored in created object files, and read by the linker.
The names of each section are also included in the object file, enabling potential improvements to error messages in the future.
Deduplicates and generalises a lot of code in assign.c:
- Replace area_AllocAbs*AnyBank() with area_AllocAbsAnyBank() function
that accepts a section type parameter
- Replace area_Alloc*AnyBank() with area_AllocAnyBank()
- Replace FindLargest*() with FindLargestSection()
- Replace Assign*Sections() with AssignBankedSections()
- Add VerifyAndSetBank(), which enables bank checks (and addition with
BANK_*) to be centralised
- Refactor the initialisation of AssignSections(), removing some magic
numbers and only setting MaxAvail[i] once
- Overhaul the duplicated cases throughout AssignSections()
Increase number of include paths that can be passed through the
command line interface. The previous number, 16, is only good enough
for small projects. 128 is still an arbitrary number, but it is harder
to reach.
