Some compiler & linkers on some platforms don't dynamically provide
a way to determine the library search path, so if /lib and /usr/lib exist
as directories they are added to the end of the library search path.

- The REG definitions support having a REGister be pointing at an
element in an array of structures (or UNITs) as long as the element
is a scalar. Something that is not supported is when the element is
already an array (or buffer). The approach used in the TDC device
creates n additional registers each of which points at the individual
array element in each of the structure in the structure array.
- Fix simple REG declarations which didn't fully describe the size of the
underlying storage holding the REG contents in the TDC and VH
DEVICEs.

Any graphics done within any simulator is done via explicit SDL APIs.
If a host has SDL available, the natural mechanisms used to reference
SDL pieces will automatically create the proper references to the
available SDL components.
Some simulator reset routines may reference the RUN target PC value
while others may change the PC, so we set the PC value both before
and after any reset is performed.

The new REG_DEPOSIT register flag bit indicates that updates to a
REGister with this flag specified will invoke the sim_vm_reg_update
routine after the data has been updated.
No clear reason to do this, given the SDL code path in the call to
SDL_WaitEvent, but initializing at startup adds no overhead and
was reported to help some debugging activities.
The North Star MDS-AD disk controller supports both single- and
double-density operation. While mixed-density is supported by the
controller, it is not supported by AltairZ80 due to a limitation of the
.nsi image file format. The .nsi image file format requires all sectors
to be of the same density.
The "Window" bit was getting cleared too late, causing the "next" sector
to be written under North Star DOS. Due to differences between CP/M and
North Star disk access routines, this was not an issue under CP/M.
Test: Verify that North Star DOS and CP/M can format, copy and verify an
entire disk.

- Recent Linux versions don't install ifconfig by default and now use
the new ip command for network details.
- Avoid writing command results to a temp file and use popen instead.
Change test for -e (exists) instead of -d (directory) so that the .git
entry is detected correctly and git version stamp logic runs as in any
other git repo. The .git entry is a file when the repo is a submodules
and possibly other obscure cases like multiple worktrees.
