264b7b982c preproc: don't macro-expand the argument to %use 
Use expand_id() for the argument to %use, instead of expand_smacro().
This really makes more sense for a "naked" argument.  This is a
semantic change, but is unlikely to break any real code.

2581c869b1 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.

2ce0274303 Use a 32-bit floating-point limb size; support 8-bit float 
Use a 32-bit limb size ("like a digit, but bigger") for floating-point
conversion.  This cuts the number of multiplications per constant by a
factor of four.

This means supporting fractional-limb-sized numbers, so while we're at
it, add support for 8-bit floating point numbers (apparently used in
graphics and in audio compression applications.)

Corrections the section on 64-bit immediates and displacements.  In
particular, immediates are sign-extended the same way displacements
are (and the same way 8-bit immediates are), so there is some use for
the 7-byte mov eax,dword imm form :(
