f0600a898c Fix metal bugs so deathstar.com runs in qemu (#20)
- Remove XD bit in page tables
- Fix cylinder+head+sector arithmetic
- Implement fstat() for serial file descriptors on metal

Here's how to boot an Actually Portable Executable in QEMU:

    make -j12 o//tool/viz/deathstar.com
    qemu-system-x86_64 -serial stdio -fda o//tool/viz/deathstar.com

Here's a screenshot of DEATHSTAR.COM booted in QEMU:

Thus metal support is in much better shape now, but still incomplete.
Only a few system calls have been polyfilled. To figure out which ones
your program needs, simply boot it in the blinkenlights emulator with a
breakpoint, and press CTRL-C to continue to the system call breakpoint.
If it doesn't break then you should be good. (Note: to emulate normally
you can press 'c' and use CTRL-T and ALT-T to tune the speed.)

    m=tiny
    make -j12 SILENT=0 MODE=$m          \
      o/$m/tool/build/blinkenlights.com \
      o/$m/tool/viz/deathstar.com
    o/$m/tool/build/blinkenlights.com   \
      -r -t -b systemfive.linux         \
      o/$m/tool/viz/deathstar.com

Thank @Theldus for the bug report that made this change possible.
Fixes #20 which explains this change further.

9e3e985ae5 Make terminal ui binaries work well everywhere
Here's some screenshots of an emulator tui program that was compiled on
Linux, then scp'd it to Windows, Mac, and FreeBSD.

How is this even possible that we have a nontrivial ui binary that just
works on Mac, Windows, Linux, and BSD? Surely a first ever achievement.

Fixed many bugs. Bootstrapped John McCarthy's metacircular evaluator on
bare metal in half the size of Altair BASIC (about 2.5kb) and ran it in
emulator for fun and profit.

23d333c090 Make more improvements
This change includes many bug fixes, for the NT polyfills, strings,
memory, boot, and math libraries which were discovered by adding more
tools for recreational programming, such as PC emulation. Lemon has also
been vendored because it works so well at parsing languages.
