The assembler got a new feature to decrease compile/assembly times.

It can now import preassembled binaries, which is used for the standard library.

This is not really a linker, because it cannot do relocation. So it can only import one binary at a fixed address, but that is good enough for now.

Compiling and assembling "Hello World" now takes 20 seconds instead of 60.
