The x86-64 ABI wants the symbol addend to reside in the addend field

Warn about it and produce sensible results.

Halt assembly if addresses are not converging.
Change global_offset_changed from bool to int so that
progress of convergence can be monitored. If change count
does not decrease from previous pass, increment stall counter.
If stall count reaches threshold, terminate assembly
with error message.

wrong code when it encounters equ's that don't converge, ex:
FOO equ FOO + 1

Remove obsolete ROL-EQU hack
Now that there is proper forward reference resolution,
we can get rid of this junk. Wiping the flags also
removed the SBYTEnn flags, causing
cmp eax, a-b
a: nop
b:
to assemble with -Ox like
cmp eax, strict dword -1
This is now fixed.

There is nothing "enhanced" about it, it just specifies a different

Decouple forward references from optimization
Users who wish to control the level of optimization can
continue to specify -O0, -O1, or -Ox,
where x can be the letter itself, or any number > 1.
However, even with optimization turned off,
NASM will always make enough passes to resolve
forward references. As a result, INCBIN is now the only
item left in the critical expressions list, although TIMES
still has its own constant value check.
