Although one can implement this "manually" in terms of %sel(), this
function is *really* useful for making multi-mode tests and allows for
better error checking.

Looks like there are enough critical changes to justify a release
without a bunch of new development. Let's just call the new
release 3.01 and avoid a bunch of excess dottage.

Convenience preprocessor functions that allows for efficient packing
of binary data in source code.
Move some functions that has previously been local but are more
generally useful into more accessible places.

It is sometimes just too convenient to be able to convert between
strings and bytes at will. At one point I was considering making
something with the full power of the db (et al) directives, but that
is a much bigger change...

Older versions of NASM would not try to match unknown %if directives
with a corresponding %endif, resulting in some very odd consequences
when it comes to trying to handle support for multiple NASM versions.
Document the problem.

If an unknown preprocessor directive starting with %if or %elif is
encountered, assume it should be treated as a conditional directive
for the purpose of balancing %if...%endif.
This avoids some really ugly problems when dealing with code that is
intended to work across NASM versions that uses %if directives that
don't yet exist.

The message-generating functions appear to get expanded when they
shouldn't, resulting in errors. Disable them for now and remove them
from the documentation.

Add the %find() and %findi() functions to look for a string in a
list. This is useful with picking apart the contents of the
__?DEFAULT?__ macro, for example.

Making DEFAULT ABS the default for 64-bit mode was a real
mistake. Issue a warning so we can eventually change it.
Support making FS: and GS: references also be REL by default.

Change 3.0 to 3.00 in all version numbers, since NASM has
traditionally expanded all but the major version number to 2 digits.
Make the language related to __?NASM_HAS_IFDIRECTIVE?__ more
consistent.
