The {nf} and {zu} prefixes (or suffixes) can be used on a number of
instructions without actually change the encodings (either they don't
touch the flags at all, or they write a 32- or 64-bit register
already.)
Make this a bit more flexible, by adding an FL instruction flag for
the instructions which actually touch the flags, and a ZU instruction
flag for the instructions which zero the upper half.

Implement the JMPABS instruction, which can also be specified as JMP
ABS for consistency. Since ABS is already a keyword, this does not

{dfv=} is basically a constant (immediate). Treat it as such during
parsing, except that if "naked" (not in an expression), it has special
matching properties and does not need a terminal comma.

If TOKEN_BRCCONST are used in an expression (including simply wrapping
them in parentheses), then just treat them as integers. This makes
things like ({dfv=cf}|{dfv=of}) work.

Change the handling of {dfv=} to a more general "braced constant"
expression, to be tagged with an instruction flag to make sure they
match the instruction in question.
This really ought to be an operand flag, but the opflags are precious;
as the CCMP/CTEST instructions can also take an immediate it probably
is necessary to invent a "special immediate" operand type that can
fold these together.

The {dfv=} prefix sequences for the CCMP and CTEST instructions need
special handling in the parser. This means a fair bit of new magic in
the handler of the parser, but it just adds to the fun.
Try to make this as general as possible, so we can use it for other
things.

The handling of "path" and "fullpath" was inconsistent, resulting in a
lot of missing dependencies regardless if a separate build directory

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.

Clean up the handling of prefixes in general. Allow a set of braced
prefixes to follow the instruction; this is required for things like
{dfv=} but might also be a nicer syntax for things like {rex}.

Doing the register range flags by hand is a bit more work than
necessary when dealing with APX, so auto-generate the flags for ranges
{0, 1-15, 16+} using 3 bits.
In theory we could handle even more automagically by splitting ranges
up further: the existing ranges are sets of {0, 1, 2, 3, 4-5, 6-7,
8-15, 16-31} which would require 7 bits, although it would remove most
of the subclass bits for registers; it would require separating the
subclass bits for EAs from the ones for registers (which might be a
good idea anyway...)

At least three files (asm/assemble.c, disasm/disasm.c, and
