8bb17895a9 Rough outline of streamlined sprite subsystem
* Split the creation of the sprite stamps from adding the
  sprites themselves.  This allows for 48 stamps that can
  be pre-rendered and quickly reassigned to sprites for
  animations.

* Inlined all calls to PushDirtyTile.  This both removed
  significant overhead from calling the small function and,
  since almost all callers we checking multiple tiles, we
  were able to avoid incrementing the count each time and
  just add a single incrments at the end.

* Switched from recording each tile that a sprite intersects
  with each from to only recording the top-left tile and the
  overlap size.  This reduced overhead for larger sprites
  and removed the needs for an end-of-list marker.

* Much more aggressive caching of Sprite and Tile Store
  values in order to streamline the inner tile dispatch
  routines.

* Moving TileStore and Sprites (and other supporting
  data structures) into a separate data bank.  Needed just
  for size purposes and provide micro-optimizations by
  opening up the use of abs,y addressing modes.

* Revamped multi-sprite rendering code to avoid the need to
  copy any masks and all stacked sprites can be drawn
  via a sequence of and [addrX],y; ora (addrX),y where
  addrX is set once per tile.

* General streamlining to reduct overhead. This work was
  focused on removing as much per-tile overhead as possible.

95058fb969 Checkpoint for sprite rewrite
All of the sprite rendering has been deferred down to the level of
the tile drawing. Sprites are no longer drawn/erased, but instead
a sprite sheet is generated in AddSprite and referenced by the
renderer.

Because there is no longer a single off-screen buffer that holds
a copy of all the rendered sprites, the TileStore size must be
expanded to hold a reference to the sprite data address fo each
tile.  This increase in data structure size require the TileStore
to be put into its own bank and appropriate code restructuring.

The benefits to the rewrite are significant:

  1. Sprites are never drawn/erased off-screen.  They are only
     ever drawn directly to the screen or play field.
  2. The concept of "damaged" sprites is gone.  Every dirty tile
     automatically renders just to portion of a sprite that it
     intersects.

These two properties result in a substantial increase in throughput.
