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.

+# Port of https://github.com/akkartik/crenshaw/blob/master/tutor2.1.pas
+# which corresponds to the section "single digits" in https://compilers.iecc.com/crenshaw/tutor2.txt
+# except that we support hex digits.
+#
+# To run:
+#   $ ./bootstrap translate init.linux [01]*.subx apps/crenshaw2-1.subx -o apps/crenshaw2-1
+#   $ echo '3'  |./bootstrap run apps/crenshaw2-1
+# Expected output:
+#   # syscall(exit, 3)
+#   bb/copy-to-ebx  3/imm32
+#   b8/copy-to-eax  1/imm32/exit
+#   cd/syscall  0x80/imm8
+#
+# To run the generated output:
+#   $ echo '3'  |./bootstrap run apps/crenshaw2-1 > z1.subx
+#   $ ./bootstrap translate init.linux z1.subx -o z1
+#   $ ./bootstrap run z1
+#   $ echo $?
+#   3
+#
+# Stdin must contain just a single hex digit. Other input will print an error:
+#   $ echo 'xyz'  |./bootstrap run apps/crenshaw2-1
+#   Error: integer expected
