There is no reason to not use an archive manager to build our
executables. If there really are systems which don't have any kind of
archive manager, we can simply link all the objects.
This also drops any use of configure to detect library objects.
Instead just use HAVE_* and let the archive manager delete them.
A lot of additional functions could be declared library functions and
reorganized.
***FIX*** Mkfiles/*.mak have not yet been updated.

Replace all instances of ERR_FATAL or ERR_PANIC with nasm_fatal or
nasm_panic so the compiler knows that these functions cannot return,
*and* we trigger abort() if we were to ever violate that constraint.

Concentrate compiler dependencies to compiler.h; make sure compiler.h
is included first in every .c file (since some prototypes may depend
on the presence of feature request macros.)
Actually use the conditional inclusion of various functions (totally
broken in previous releases.)
To deal with fools^Wpeople trying to keep really old systems alive,
create a proper framework for substitution functions, and make it
possible to deal with the lack of snprintf/vsnprintf in particular.
