Changelog:
- (u)int(max,ptr) abbreviations removed; use _t suffix now [didn't feel
  like they were contributing enough to be worth it]
- cleaned up nall::integer,natural,real functionality
  - toInteger, toNatural, toReal for parsing strings to numbers
  - fromInteger, fromNatural, fromReal for creating strings from numbers
  - (string,Markup::Node,SQL-based-classes)::(integer,natural,real)
    left unchanged
  - template<typename T> numeral(T value, long padding, char padchar)
    -> string for print() formatting
    - deduces integer,natural,real based on T ... cast the value if you
      want to override
    - there still exists binary,octal,hex,pointer for explicit print()
      formatting
- lstring -> string_vector [but using lstring = string_vector; is
  declared]
  - would be nice to remove the using lstring eventually ... but that'd
    probably require 10,000 lines of changes >_>
- format -> string_format [no using here; format was too ambiguous]
- using integer = Integer<sizeof(int)*8>; and using natural =
  Natural<sizeof(uint)*8>; declared
  - for consistency with boolean. These three are meant for creating
    zero-initialized values implicitly (various uses)
- R65816::io() -> idle() and SPC700::io() -> idle() [more clear; frees
  up struct IO {} io; naming]
- SFC CPU, PPU, SMP use struct IO {} io; over struct (Status,Registers) {}
  (status,registers); now
  - still some CPU::Status status values ... they didn't really fit into
    IO functionality ... will have to think about this more
- SFC CPU, PPU, SMP now use step() exclusively instead of addClocks()
  calling into step()
- SFC CPU joypad1_bits, joypad2_bits were unused; killed them
- SFC PPU CGRAM moved into PPU::Screen; since nothing else uses it
- SFC PPU OAM moved into PPU::Object; since nothing else uses it
  - the raw uint8[544] array is gone. OAM::read() constructs values from
    the OAM::Object[512] table now
  - this avoids having to determine how we want to sub-divide the two
    OAM memory sections
  - this also eliminates the OAM::synchronize() functionality
- probably more I'm forgetting

The FPS fluctuations are driving me insane. This WIP went from 128fps to
137fps. Settled on 133.5fps for the final build. But nothing I changed
should have affected performance at all. This level of fluctuation makes
it damn near impossible to know whether I'm speeding things up or slowing
things down with changes.

Tim Allen 7a68059f78 Update to v099r12 release.

Changelog:
- fixed FC AxROM / VRC7 regression
- BitField split to BooleanBitField/NaturalBitField (in preparation
  for IntegerBitField)
- BitFieldReference removed
- GB CPU cleaned up
- GB Cartridge + Mappers cleaned up
- SFC CGRAM is now emulated as uint15[256] instead of uint[512]
- sfc/ppu/memory.cpp no longer needed; removed
- purged SFC Debugger hooks for now (some of the operator[] calls were
  bypassing them anyway)

Unfortunately, for reasons that defy all semblance of logic, the CGRAM
change caused a slight speed hit. As have the last few changes. We're
now down to around 129.5fps compared to 123.fps for v099 and 134.5fps
at our peak (v099r01-r02).

I really like the style I came up with for the Game Boy mappers to settle
the purpose(ROM,RAM) vs (rom,ram)Purpose naming convention. If I ever get
around to redoing the NES mappers, that's likely the approach I'll take.
