7842 - new directory organization
Baremetal is now the default build target and therefore has its sources
at the top-level. Baremetal programs build using the phase-2 Mu toolchain
that requires a Linux kernel. This phase-2 codebase which used to be at
the top-level is now under the linux/ directory. Finally, the phase-2 toolchain,
while self-hosting, has a way to bootstrap from a C implementation, which
is now stored in linux/bootstrap. The bootstrap C implementation uses some
literate programming tools that are now in linux/bootstrap/tools.

So the whole thing has gotten inverted. Each directory should build one
artifact and include the main sources (along with standard library). Tools
used for building it are relegated to sub-directories, even though those
tools are often useful in their own right, and have had lots of interesting
programs written using them.

A couple of things have gotten dropped in this process:
  - I had old ways to run on just a Linux kernel, or with a Soso kernel.
    No more.
  - I had some old tooling for running a single test at the cursor. I haven't
    used that lately. Maybe I'll bring it back one day.

The reorg isn't done yet. Still to do:
  - redo documentation everywhere. All the README files, all other markdown,
    particularly vocabulary.md.
  - clean up how-to-run comments at the start of programs everywhere
  - rethink what to do with the html/ directory. Do we even want to keep
    supporting it?

In spite of these shortcomings, all the scripts at the top-level, linux/
and linux/bootstrap are working. The names of the scripts also feel reasonable.
This is a good milestone to take stock at.

+# Checking null-terminated strings.
+#
+# By default we create strings as arrays of bytes, and all arrays have a 4-byte
+# size prefix.
+#
+# However, we sometimes need to deal with null-terminated strings when
+# interacting with the Linux kernel. This layer implements a function for
+# comparing a null-terminated 'kernel string' with a size-prefixed 'SubX
+# string'.
+#
+# To run (from the subx directory):
+#   $ ./bootstrap translate 05[0-2]*.subx -o /tmp/tmp52
+#   $ ./bootstrap run /tmp/tmp52  # runs a series of tests
+#   ......  # all tests pass
+#
+# (We can't yet run the tests when given a "test" commandline argument,
+# because checking for it would require the function being tested! Breakage
+# would cause tests to not run, rather than to fail as we'd like.)
