shuffler: correctly handle one-to-many relationships
One-to-many relationships, in which one chunk of a file is used in
more than one place, tends to naturally show up in decoding certain
fileformats, including (but not limited to) Microsoft SDI. Make the
shuffler library handle those cases correctly, and remove a
special-purpose hack in sdi.c.
This is based on the observation that all one-to-many relationships
can be treated as a one-to-one shuffle followed by
destination-to-destination copies; i.e. one copy is (arbitrarily)
assigned the "master copy" status, and all aliases are then copied
from the master copy when the master copy is already in its final
place. All other copies can then be simply ignored for the duration
of the shuffle, just as zero-memory is.

a20: advance A20Test by a large, prime number
Rather than simply incrementing A20Test, advance it by a large prime
number every time. The reason is to minimize false aliasing as
quickly as possible.

a20: remove DO_WBINVD configurable
We haven't enabled DO_WBINVD for a very long time. A20 is implemented
on the inside of the L1 cache for 486+ (and 386 didn't have WBINVD),
so an I/O delay is the only thing we can rely on anyway.

The io_delay operation is only two instructions, might as well inline
it.

a20: A20Test is now a dword
A20Test is now a dword; this makes it less likely that we'll have a
case of false aliasing resulting in the io_delay path being taken.

a20: try to avoid io_delay if A20 is already enabled
We have at least the possibility to avoid io_delay if A20 is already
enabled. Thus, give it a try. Furthermore, when calling enable_a20,
always try the zero-work case first, since we may have been enabled by
a previous call. This should improve performance of the rm/pm
ping-pong.

core: merge the startup code for disk-based derivatives
Merge the startup code for disk-based derivatives (currently SYSLINUX,
EXTLINUX) into a single file. There is probably still additional
shared code that should be merged, but this is a good start.

bcopyxx: when going to 16-bit PM, might as well do it right
When entering 16-bit PM after shuffle and boot, we might as well
do so sanely. Specifically, set up the data segments so that they
match the code segment, generating a 16-bit "tiny" model environment.
This makes it a lot saner to bootstrap a proper PM environment from
there if that is what the user intends. For the presumably more
common case of RM entry, it won't do any harm, and it's only a handful
of additional instructions.
