Add new heuristic for resolving instruction sizes. Add new heuristic for resolving instruction sizes. This applies to the the decision between extended and base page addressing by calculating the range of possible addresses (if reasonably knowable) and deciding on whether to force extended addressing based on that. (If the whole range is outside the direct page, extended addressing is required.)

niceties. Both LWLINK and LWASM support generating raw binaries. ORG directives
in the source code only serve to set the addresses that will be used for
symbols but otherwise have no direct impact on the resulting binary.</P
