Support aarch64, silicon, arm, i486, riscv64, mipsel, ppc and s390x
Your APE binaries will now run on eight hardware architectures. The
tradeoff is this change adds about 800kb of bloat to the executable
which to be fair is still more than half as small as Go hello world

Your APE shell script extracts an embedded build of Blink, based on
`$(uname -m)`. The Blink binaries are statically-linked (manylinux)
which means, they'll run on every distro's stock install, including
Apple M1's that haven't enabled Rosetta. Blink's emulation has been
designed to be nearly as fast as Rosetta, using a JIT technique for
faster startup time. Blink has also been tested more thoroughly, w/
emulating Cosmopolitan software, since we're the ones who wrote it.

[metal] Allow programs larger than 440 KiB to run in bare metal mode (#685)
* [metal] Copy program pages to extended memory at startup
* [metal] Reclaim base memory pages for later app use
* [metal] Load program pages beyond 1st 440 KiB to extended memory

o//examples/hellolua.com now runs correctly under QEMU (in
legacy BIOS mode).

* [metal] Place GDT in read/write segment

The CPU absolutely needs to alter the GDT when loading the
task register (via ltr).  To account for this, I move the
GDT into a read/write data section.  There is still a "rump"
read-only GDT in the text section that is used by the real
mode bootloader.

We also delay the loading of the task register (ltr) until
after the IDT and TSS are finally set up.

* [metal] Get examples/vga2.c serial output working for UEFI boot
* [metal] Get examples/vga2.c VGA output working for UEFI boot
* [metal] Allow munmap() to reclaim dynamically allocated pages
* Place TLS sections right after .text, not after embedded zip file

Introduce new jartsr=' ape prefix
Files beginning with "MZqFpD" are Actually Portable Executables,
which have a printf statement in the first 4096 bytes with octal
codes that specify the ELF header. APE also specifies `jartsr='`
as an alternative prefix, intended for binaries that do not want
to be identified as Windows executables. Like the \177ELF magic,
all these prefixes decode as x86 jump instructions that could be
used for 16-bit bootloaders or 32-bit / 64-bit flat executables.
Most importantly they provide a fallback path for Thompson shell
copmatible command interpreters, which do not require a shebang,
e.g. bash, zsh, fish, bourne, almquist, etc. Please note that in
order to meet the requirements of POSIX.1, the single quote must
be followed by a newline character, before any null bytes occur.

[metal] Allow more fine-grained control over page permissions (#663)
- use PAGE_RSRV bit (originally only for blinkenlights),
  rather than PAGE_V bit, to indicate that a virtual address
  page has been reserved — this should allow a program to
  create & reserve inaccessible "guard pages"
- mark page table entries for non-code pages with PAGE_XD bit,
  which should be supported on (circa) post-2004 x86-64 CPUs

Make shell script magic less prone to breakage (#643)
The metal boot sector code was wrapped in a single-quoted
string, like so:

    MZqFpD='
    ...MZ HEADER...
    ...E_LFANEW...
    ...BIOS BOOT SECTOR...'

This might break the shell code loader if the boot sector code
contains a 0x27 (single quote) byte.  This patch wraps the
boot sector code in a here-document instead:

    MZqFpD='
    ...MZ HEADER...' <<'@'
    ...E_LFANEW...
    ...BIOS BOOT SECTOR...
    @

This is harder to break — when interpreted as a shell script,
the code can only accidentally terminate the here-document
if there is a "\n@\n" sequence inside the BIOS boot portion.

Pay off more technical debt
This makes breaking changes to add underscores to many non-standard
function names provided by the c library. MODE=tiny is now tinier and
we now use smaller locks that are better for tiny apps in this mode.
Some headers have been renamed to be in the same folder as the build
package, so it'll be easier to know which build dependency is needed.
Certain old misguided interfaces have been removed. Intel intrinsics
headers are now listed in libc/isystem (but not in the amalgamation)
to help further improve open source compatibility. Header complexity
has also been reduced. Lastly, more shell scripts are now available.

Stop APE bare metal loader from reading beyond program image end (#574)
This allows e.g. `qemu-system-x86_64 -s o/examples/hello.com
-serial stdio` to work without having to add extra padding to
the end of the `hello.com` "disk image".

(The sector count computation is divided among two instructions
in the assembly code.  This is done on purpose, to prevent an
ASCII 0x27 (single quote) byte from appearing in the bare
metal loader code, which will break the shell script loader.
There is probably a better way.)

52ed099fe6 Favor $HOME directory over /tmp
This should strike a better compromise that keeps people happy about the
security of APE when it extracts the loader. This way systems with users
who aren't trusted (e.g. CPanel) won't be at any risk of compromise when
there isn't an `ape` loader on the system `$PATH`.

This change also bumps redbean up to 2.0.3

8b72490431 Make mutex calling code 10x tinier
Calls to lock/unlock functions are now NOPs by default. The first time
clone() is called, they get turned into CALL instructions. Doing this
caused funcctions like fputc() to shrink from 85 bytes to 45+4 bytes.
Since the ANSI solution of `(__threaded && lock())` inlines os much
superfluous binary content into functions all over the place.

8f12cd980d Fix execution bug w/o binfmt_misc
The longjmp relocation in the master boot record coincidentally had a
quote character in it, which caused the master boot record to be used
when interpreter by the shell. The solution, is to move the grub stub
below the long mode loader so the real mode loader relocation is near
the master boot record. This change includes a regression test.

db0d8dd806 Support Linux binfmt_misc and APE loading on Apple
The "no modify self" variant of Actually Portable Executable is now
supported on all platforms. If you use `$(APE_NO_MODIFY_SELF)` then
ld.bfd will embed a 4096 byte ELF binary and a 4096 byte Macho file
which are installed on the fly to ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}, which enables us
launch the executable, without needing to copy the whole executable

To prevent it from copying a tiny executable to your temp directory
you need to install the `ape` command (renamed from ape-loader), to
a system path. For example:

    # FreeBSD / NetBSD / OpenBSD
    make -j8 o//ape/ape
    cp o//ape/ape /usr/bin/ape

    # Mac OS
    # make -j8 o//ape/ape.macho
    curl https://justine.lol/ape.macho >/usr/bin/ape
    chmod +x /usr/bin/ape

On Linux you can get even more performance with the new binfmt_misc
support which makes launching non-modifying APE binaries as fast as
launching ELF executables. Running the following command:

    # Linux
    ape/apeinstall.sh

Will copy APE loader to /usr/bin/ape and register with binfmt_misc
Lastly, this change also fixes a really interesting race condition
with OpenBSD thread joining.

47a53e143b Productionize new APE loader and more
The APE_NO_MODIFY_SELF loader payload has been moved out of the examples
folder and improved so that it works on BSD systems, and permits general
elf program headers. This brings its quality up enough that it should be
acceptable to use by default for many programs, e.g. Python, Lua, SQLite
and Python. It's the responsibility of the user to define an appropriate
TMPDIR if /tmp is considered an adversarial environment. Mac OS shall be
supported by APE_NO_MODIFY_SELF soon.

Fixes and improvements have been made to program_executable_name as it's
now the one true way to get the absolute path of the executing image.

This change fixes a memory leak in linenoise history loading, introduced
by performance optimizations in 51904e2687
This change fixes a longstanding regression with Mach system calls, that
23ae9dfceb back in February which impacted
our sched_yield() implementation, which is why no one noticed until now.

The Blinkenlights PC emulator has been improved. We now fix rendering on
XNU and BSD by not making the assumption that the kernel terminal driver
understands UTF8 since that seems to break its internal modeling of \r\n
which is now being addressed by using \e[𝑦H instead. The paneling is now
more compact in real mode so you won't need to make your font as tiny if
you're only emulating an 8086 program. The CLMUL ISA is now emulated too

This change also makes improvement to time. CLOCK_MONOTONIC now does the
right thing on Windows NT. The nanosecond time module functions added in
Python 3.7 have been backported.

This change doubles the performance of Argon2 password stretching simply
by not using its copy_block and xor_block helper functions, as they were
trivial to inline thus resulting in us needing to iterate over each 1024
byte block four fewer times.

This change makes code size improvements. _PyUnicode_ToNumeric() was 64k
in size and now it's 10k. The CJK codec lookup tables now use lazy delta
zigzag deflate (δzd) encoding which reduces their size from 600k to 200k
plus the code bloat caused by macro abuse in _decimal.c is now addressed
so our fully-loaded statically-linked hermetically-sealed Python virtual
interpreter container is now 9.4 megs in the default build mode and 5.5m
in MODE=tiny which leaves plenty of room for chibicc.

The pydoc web server now accommodates the use case of people who work by
SSH'ing into a different machine w/ python.com -m pydoc -p8080 -h0.0.0.0

Finally Python Capsulae delenda est and won't be supported in the future

8af197560e Improve Libc by making Python work even better
Actually Portable Python is now outperforming the Python binaries
that come bundled with Linux distros, at things like HTTP serving.
You can now have a fully featured Python install in just one .com
file that runs on six operating systems and is about 10mb in size.
With tuning, the tiniest is ~1mb. We've got most of the libraries
working, including pysqlite, and the repl now feels very pleasant.
The things you can't do quite yet are: threads and shared objects
but that can happen in the future, if the community falls in love
with this project and wants to see it developed further. Changes:

- Add siginterrupt()
- Add sqlite3 to Python
- Add issymlink() helper
- Make GetZipCdir() faster
- Add tgamma() and finite()
- Add legacy function lutimes()
- Add readlink() and realpath()
- Use heap allocations when appropriate
- Reorganize Python into two-stage build
- Save Lua / Python shell history to dotfile
- Integrate Python Lib embedding into linkage
- Make isregularfile() and isdirectory() go faster
- Make Python shell auto-completion work perfectly
- Make crash reports work better if changed directory
- Fix Python+NT open() / access() flag overflow error
- Disable Python tests relating to \N{LONG NAME} syntax
- Have Python REPL copyright() show all notice embeddings

The biggest technical challenge at the moment is working around
when Python tries to be too clever about filenames.

b420ed8248 Undiamond Python headers
This change gets the Python codebase into a state where it conforms to
the conventions of this codebase. It's now possible to include headers
from Python, without worrying about ordering. Python has traditionally
solved that problem by "diamonding" everything in Python.h, but that's
problematic since it means any change to any Python header invalidates
all the build artifacts. Lastly it makes tooling not work. Since it is
hard to explain to Emacs when I press C-c C-h to add an import line it
shouldn't add the header that actually defines the symbol, and instead
do follow the nonstandard Python convention.

Progress has been made on letting Python load source code from the zip
executable structure via the standard C library APIs. System calss now
recognizes zip!FILENAME alternative URIs as equivalent to zip:FILENAME
since Python uses colon as its delimiter.

Some progress has been made on embedding the notice license terms into
the Python object code. This is easier said than done since Python has
an extremely complicated ownership story.

- Some termios APIs have been added
- Implement rewinddir() dirstream API
- GetCpuCount() API added to Cosmopolitan Libc
- More bugs in Cosmopolitan Libc have been fixed
- zipobj.com now has flags for mangling the path
- Fixed bug a priori with sendfile() on certain BSDs
- Polyfill F_DUPFD and F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC across platforms
- FIOCLEX / FIONCLEX now polyfilled for fast O_CLOEXEC changes
- APE now supports a hybrid solution to no-self-modify for builds

bf03b2e64c Make major improvements to redbean and libraries
The most exciting improvement is dynamic pages will soon be able to use
the executable itself as an object store. it required a heroic technique
for overcoming ETXTBSY restrictions which lets us open the executable in
read/write mode, which means (1) wa can restore the APE header, and (2)
we can potentially containerize redbean extension code so that modules
you download for your redbean online will only impact your redbean.

Here's a list of breaking changes to redbean:

- Remove /tool/net/ prefix from magic ZIP paths
- GetHeader() now returns NIL if header is absent

Here's a list of fixes and enhancements to redbean:

- Support 64-bit ZIP archives
- Record User-Agent header in logs
- Add twelve error handlers to accept()
- Display octal st_mode on listing page
- Show ZIP file comments on listing page
- Restore APE MZ header on redbean startup
- Track request count on redbean index page
- Report server uptime on redbean index page
- Don't bind server socket using SO_REUSEPORT
- Fix #151 where Lua LoadAsset() could free twice
- Report rusage accounting when workers exit w/ -vv
- Use ZIP iattr field as text/plain vs. binary hint
- Add ParseUrl() API for parsing things like a.href
- Add ParseParams() API for parsing HTTP POST bodies
- Add IsAcceptablePath() API for checking dots, etc.
- Add IsValidHttpToken() API for validating sane ASCII
- Add IsAcceptableHostPort() for validating HOST[:PORT]
- Send 400 response to HTTP/1.1 requests without a Host
- Send 403 response if ZIP or file isn't other readable
- Add virtual hosting that tries prepending Host to path
- Route requests based on Host in Request-URI if present
- Host routing will attempt to remove or add the www. prefix
- Sign-extend UNIX timestamps and don't adjust FileTime zone

Here's some of the improvements made to Cosmopolitan Libc:

- Fix ape.S indentation
- Improve consts.sh magnums
- Write pretty good URL parser
- Improve rusage accounting apis
- Bring mremap() closer to working
- Added ZIP APIs which will change
- Check for overflow in reallocarray()
- Remove overly fancy linkage in strerror()
- Fix GDB attach on crash w/ OpenBSD msyscall()
- Make sigqueue() portable to most UNIX distros
- Make integer serialization macros more elegant
- Bring back 34x tprecode8to16() performance boost
- Make malloc() more resilient to absurdly large sizes

da8a08fd58 Provide option to have APE not modify itself
This change introduces ape-no-modify-self.o to the amalgamated release
binaries, which may be used as an alternative to ape.o to make it easier
to use APE in cases where the self-modifying behavior isn't acceptable.

Please note that this alternative copying behavior isn't necessarily
better. It introduces a whole bunch of questions of its own, which are
documented in the ape.S source comment and should be considered by both
the program author as well as the end-user of programs linked this way.

For example, build environments that use read-only file systems and
would prefer to not have a launcher wrapper (like we use in our build)
can use ape-no-modify-self.o instead of ape.o and then set the $TMPDIR
environment variable to point to a sane read-write-exec location.

Fixes #146

edd9297eba Support malloc() on bare metal
Your Actually Portable Executables now contains a simple virtual memory
that works similarly to the Linux Kernel in the sense that it maps your
physical memory to negative addresses. This is needed to support mmap()
and malloc(). This functionality has zero code size impact. For example
the MODE=tiny LIFE.COM executable is still only 12KB in size.

The APE bootloader code has also been simplified to improve readibility
and further elevate the elegance by which we're able to support so many
platforms thereby enhancing verifiability so that we may engender trust
in this bootloading process.
