6070c23e5e 5897 - rename comparison instructions
Signed and unsigned don't quite capture the essence of what the different
combinations of x86 flags are doing for SubX. The crucial distinction is
that one set of comparison operators is for integers and the second is
for addresses.

f1eade7286 5883 - drop the ref keyword
When I created it I was conflating two things:
a) needing to refer to just the start, rather than the whole, and
b) counting indirections.

Both are kinda ill-posed. Now Mu will have just `addr` and `handle` types.
Normal types will translate implicitly to `addr` types, while `handle`
will always require explicit handling.

Rename a few scripts to be more consistent.

I'm also starting to feel the urge to bud off `subx run` into its own program,
say tools/emulate_x86. It doesn't really rely on the SubX notation at all.

And then I could rename `subx translate` to `translate_subx_bootstrap`.

Only problem: the commands in the Readme get verbose. But the Readme is
gonna need surgery soon anyway to put translate_mu front and center.

Try to make the comments consistent with the type system we'll eventually
have.

Standardize conventions for labels within objects in the data segment.

We're going to use this in a new tool.

fd91f7f61b 5675 - move helpers from subx-common into layers
This undoes 5672 in favor of a new plan:

Layers 000 - 099 are for running without syntax sugar. We use them for
building syntax-sugar passes.

Layers 100 and up are for running with all syntax sugar.

The layers are arranged in approximate order so more phases rely on earlier
layers than later ones.

I plan to not use intermediate syntax sugar (just sigils without calls,
or sigils and calls without braces) anywhere except in the specific passes
implementing them.
