Justine Tunney ea0b5d9d1c Get Cosmopolitan into releasable state
A new rollup tool now exists for flattening out the headers in a way
that works better for our purposes than cpp. A lot of the API clutter
has been removed. APIs that aren't a sure thing in terms of general
recommendation are now marked internal.

There's now a smoke test for the amalgamation archive and gigantic
header file. So we can now guarantee you can use this project on the
easiest difficulty setting without the gigantic repository.

A website is being created, which is currently a work in progress:

Justine Tunney 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.

Justine Tunney f4f4caab0e Add x86_64-linux-gnu emulator
I wanted a tiny scriptable meltdown proof way to run userspace programs
and visualize how program execution impacts memory. It helps to explain
how things like Actually Portable Executable works. It can show you how
the GCC generated code is going about manipulating matrices and more. I
didn't feel fully comfortable with Qemu and Bochs because I'm not smart
enough to understand them. I wanted something like gVisor but with much
stronger levels of assurances. I wanted a single binary that'll run, on
all major operating systems with an embedded GPL barrier ZIP filesystem
that is tiny enough to transpile to JavaScript and run in browsers too.
