Assembler for SIMD20S

Assembler for the upcoming SIMD20S (an SIMD unit made in The Powder Toy). Still under development and very unstable. This is a fork of SIMD16S's assembler, which has been abandoned for obvious reasons.

See arch_docs.txt for sketchy details on the SIMD20S architecture (along with a lot of other future plans).

To use:

1. Install node.
2. node assembler.js asm-file > bin-file, where asm-file is the assembly code and bin-file is the file to output the machine code to. So, for example, node assembler.js gpuTest.asm > gpuTest.bin.
3. Use loadProgram.lua to load a program into the RAM. Enter loadfile('loadProgram.lua')(x, y, filename) into the Lua console, where (x, y) are the coordinates of the top-left corner of the RAM block, and filename is the name of the machine code file. So, for example, loadfile('loadProgram.lua')(71, 112, 'gpuTest.bin')
4. Don't complain about my using Javascript.
