[nosplit eax+eax] was encoded [eax*2] previously but
this seems against the user's intention.
So in this case, nosplit is ignored now and [eax+eax] will be
generated.
Document is also updated accordingly.

Added the list of features added since 2.10 release.
Nasmdoc is also updated with those new features.

Quote filenames for Make when generated for filenames internally.
Only skip quoting when using the -MT option (rather than -MQ).

The NASM 2.09 preprocessor allows some illogical constructs, but which
unfortunately has been found in real code in the field. We need
a compatibility solution or a pragma before we can avoid that.
However, we need the other features in NASM 2.10 to come out, so
revert the preprocessor changes for now.

The default page-centered position doesn't work too well with the
title and the new logo, so move the new logo down the page a bit.

We use -Ox by default since Nasm-2.09 so "-O0" is not
longer "default" option. But first paragraph still has
the reference which confuses people. Get rid of it.

And describe it in documentation. We've introduced
sectalign in 2.09rc series and have to provide an
ability to steer this feature.

Since %rep counter is a 64 bit signed integer we have to use some
"maximum possible value" limit (upper bound) otherwise there may be
a situation when %rep counter is 0 or even negative while user
has been passing big positive integer value.

Two fixes:
1. Optimization of [bx+0xFFFF] etc
0xFFFF is an sbyte under 16-bit semantics,
so make sure to check it right.
2. Don't optimize displacements in -O0
Displacements that fit into an sbyte or
can be removed should *not* be optimized in -O0.
Implicit zero displacements are still optimized, e.g.:
[eax] -> 0 bit displacement, [ebp] -> 8 bit displacement.
However explicit displacements are not optimized:
[eax+0] -> 32 bit displacement, [ebp+0] -> 32 bit displacement.
Because #2 breaks compatibility with 0.98,
I introduced a new optimization level: -OL, legacy.
Allow non-identifier characters in the name of environment variables,
by surrounding them with string quotes (subject to ordinary
string-quoting rules.)

Make -Ox the default; it's the optimization level expected by most
users, and it is clearly still causing confusion that it has to be
specified manually.
