Video soft font data was occupying a large amount of space in the HBIOS bank. This change moves the font data to a ROM bank by default.
Thanks and credit to @b1ackmai1er who provided much of the code that originated this change.

Per Issue #541, a platform configuration file has been created for the EZZ80 platform. The two ROM builds for this platform have changed prefix from RCZ80 to EZZ80.
- UNARC updated to UNARCU11 which fixes an edge case where the user number was being incorrectly changed. See #496. Thanks and credit to Lars Nelson for this.
- An additional SD Module has been developed by Stephen Cousins. Since this module will be distributed as a kit, I think it makes sense to enable support by default. It will do nothing on systems without an SD Module.
- SIOINTS allows disabling use of interrupts in the SIO driver when interrupts are enabled globally. It will not allow you to enable SIO interrupts if interrupts are globally disabled (INTMODE 0).
- Unique I/O configuration for Les Bird's Graphics/Sound/Joystick Module has been removed because the module now conforms to generic MSX port conventions.
- Implement Interrupt Mode 2 (Mode 1 is still default)
- Implement interrupt driven keyboard support
- Improve UART keyboard driver to support interrupt driven flow control
- Rearranged HBIOS code to improve colocation of related code.
- Implemented macros to improve control over assembly diagnostic output.
- Improved handling of diagnostic LEDs.
- Improved application boot bank management.
- Implemented application boot for Z280 systems.
- Moved Z280_BNKSEL into proxy.
-
- If enabled by AUTOCON config setting, you can press <space> at any character device to take over the console at the boot loader prompt.
- Correction to SIOSEEK documentation in System Guide. Thanks and credit to Martin R.
- Last check-in had a couple of config file errors which are corrected here.
- Also updated Appendix A of the User Guide to reflect new CH37x port addressing.
- Updated to standardize on 0x3E/0x3F for primary CH device and 0x3C/0x3D for secondary CH device. Both devices are optional and detected automatically.
