SPDX is an international standard for documenting software license
requirements. Remove the existing headers and replace with a brief
SPDX preamble.
See: https://spdx.dev/use/specifications/
The script used to convert the files is added to "tools", and the
file header templates in headers/ are updated.

Along with C and other languages, the current trend is to be able to
probe for features rather than relying on version numbers. This is
motivated in part by the intent of bumping the major version number to

Remove the legacy output entry point. It has proven impossible to find
the time to completely port the backends all at once.
Instead, always generate the legacy output data, but put them into the
out_data structure. Then add a macro to explode these arguments into
separate variables, equivalent to the old function arguments. This
also centralizes the type definitions for these variables.
Most importantly, it means that the entire struct out_data is now
always available, which means that backends that need the additional
information available in that structure, such as the specific
instruction template, can access that information without needing to
revamp the entire backend code all at once.

The parser state does not just necessarily include the position of the
buffer, but make it possible to maintain additional state.
Furthermore, add an explicit ability to push back a token.
All of this might make it easier at some point in the future to keep
track of horizontal position, although that will require lots of
changes to the preprocessor.

There are no use cases for of RELA on i386, and the intent has always been
that efmt->rel_size would be the size of the desired relocation
section type. Rename it from rel_size to relsize to make it more
obvious that it matches efmt->reltype rather than SHT_REL, and delete
efmt->rela_size to keep it from being misused again.
This should avoid a repeat of:

I'm dealing with a FreeBSD-derived embedded target that ends up
showing such symbols (which is mainly NASM struct definitions)
in backtraces after calling NULL function pointers, since these
symbols _are_ technically covering bytes around address zero.
Needless to say, this is extremely confusing and generates
nonsensical bug reports. (Essentially, random unrelated crashes
get cross-referenced to a random ASM struct, whatever the linker
picked for address 0).
These symbols are already a bit strange to begin with (they're
purely an artifact of how NASM happens to implement structs),
leaving their sizes at 0 seems reasonable.

At least DWARF can encode C-style macros. In doing so, it wants the

The "object" symbol keyword would incorrectly generate STT_NOTYPE

different from plain weak references in that they are guaranteed to
resolve to zero if the symbol is not found.

the messages.
Change ERR_NOTE to ERR_INFO which reflects the usage better. Other
compilers use note: for additional information.
Don't unwind the macro stack with ERR_HERE; it is only going to give

Dead code elimination in ELF uses separate ELF sections for every
functions or data items that may be garbage collected. This can end up
being more than 32,633 sections which, when the ELF internal and
relocation sections are added in, can exceed the legacy ELF maximum of
65,279 sections.
Newer versions of the ELF specification has added support for much
larger number of sections by putting a place holder value (usually
SHN_XINDEX == 0xffff, but 0 in some cases) into fields where the
section index is a 16-bit value, and storing the full value in a
diffent place: the program header uses entries in section header 0,
the symbol table uses an auxiliary segment with the additional
indicies; the section header did not need it as the sh_link field is
already 32 (or 64) bits long.

Use a hash table to look up sections by name, and an RAA to look up
sections by index; thus remove O(n) searches. This becomes important
since ELF uses sections for dead code elimination.

With buffered warnings, most warnings *must* be issued on every pass,
so ERR_PASS1 is simply wrong in most cases.
ERR_PASS1 now means "force this warning to be output even in
pass_first(). This is to be used for the case where the warning is
only executed in pass_first() code; this is highly discouraged as it
means the warnings will not appear in the list file and subsequent
passes may make the warning suddenly vanish.
ERR_PASS2 just as before suppresses an error or warning unless we are
in pass_final().

It is extremely desirable to allow the user fine-grained control of
warnings, but this has been complicated by the fact that a warning
class has had to be defined in no less than three places (error.h,
error.c, nasmdoc.src) before it can be used in source code. Instead,
use a script to define these via magic comments at the point of use.
This hopefully will encourage creating new classes as needed.
