49603ba417 Refine handling of C64 PRG header
A few tweaks:
- Test now requires an ORG on offset +000002, not just a correct
  address.
- Suppress on-screen display of the initial ORG directive when
  a PRG file is detected.  Subtle, but helpful.
- In new project setup, fix initial address for PRG projects that
  load at $0000.
- In new project setup, add a "load address" comment to the first line.

Also, fix some out-of-date documentation.

908a1c9900 Rename "hint" in UI and documentation
Before:
 Hint As Code Entry Point
 Hint As Data Start
 Hint As Inline Data
 Remove Hints

After:
 Tag Address As Code Start Point
 Tag Address As Code Stop Point
 Tag Bytes As Inline Data
 Remove Analyzer Tags

The goal is to reduce confusion.  The old nomenclature was causing
problems because it's inaccurate -- they're directives, not hints --
and made it look like you need to mark data items explicitly.  The
new action names emphasize the idea that you should be tagging a
single address for start/stop, not blanketing a region.

This change updates the user interface, manual, and tutorials, but
does not change how the items are referred to in code, and does not
change how the program works.

28eafef27c Expand the set of things SetInlineDataFormat accepts
Extension scripts (a/k/a "plugins") can now apply any data format
supported by FormatDescriptor to inline data.  In particular, it can
now handle variable-length inline strings.  The code analyzer
verifies the string structure (e.g. null-terminated strings have
exactly one null byte, at the very end).

Added PluginException to carry an exception back to the plugin code,
for occasions when they're doing something so wrong that we just
want to smack them.

Added test 2022-extension-scripts to exercise the feature.

37855c8f8e Allow explicit widths in project/platform symbols, part 4 (of 4)
Handle situation where a symbol wraps around a bank.  Updated
2021-external-symbols for that, and to test the behavior when file
data and an external symbol overlap.

The bank-wrap test turned up a bug in Merlin 32.  A workaround has
been added.

Updated documentation to explain widths.

431ad94d95 Make "smart" PLP handling optional
We try to be clever with PHP/PLP, but sometimes we get it wrong.  If
we get it wrong a lot, we want to turn it off.  Now we can.

8d0ce87ec7 Experiment on uncategorized data analysis
Tried something to speed it up.  Didn't help.  Cleaned up the code
a bit though.
