9b62da6567 3B2-700 Initial Public Release
This commit introduces dozens of changes to make the 3B2-700 simulator
fully functional and ready for wider use. In addition to 3B2-700
availability, this commit includes a tremendous amount of refactoring
of the 3B2-400 and common code to make the project structure easier to
maintain and reason about.

One final important change: ROM files are no longer included in the
source code. 3B2 ROM images must be obtained separately and loaded
into the simulator before boot.

Changes:

- The 3b2 target has been aliased to 3b2-400
- The formerly named 3b2-600 project has become 3b2-700
- SCSI QIC tape support has been added to sim_scsi.c
- Header files have been reworked to reduce complexity of includes
- Common code has been consolidated
- Timer code has been unified

9d849283a4 3B2: Interrupt Refactor and DEMON ROM
- This change introduces a full refactor of the interrupt subsystem
  for the system board (SBD) and the I/O bus (CIO). Interrupt decode
  should now be significantly faster, and not require an expensive
  calculation on every step.

- The TIMER device has been split into Rev 2 and Rev 3
  implementations.

- The optional 3B2/400 Debug Monitor ROMs can now be booted by passing
  the "DEMON" argument to the 3B2/400 simulator BOOT command. Any
  of the following will cause the Debug Monitor ROM to be booted
  instead of the standard 3B2/400 ROM:

     sim> BOOT DEMON
     sim> BOOT CPU DEMON
     sim> BOOT DEMON CPU
