If the macro itself is local to a function, these can work in certain
scenarios, but never for global ones.

This gets rid of a couple of per-entity sprite bitplane types, makes
sprite declarations easier to read by putting width and height next to
each other… and points out a number of array dimension mistakes -.-
Even in places where we can't use it.

Might look uglier, but has the advantage of not generating an empty
segment with the default name… *and* the default padding, which will
really come in handy with the following breakthrough.

DOS is not the same thing as the underlying CPU, after all. A separate
file not only indicates to future port authors which parts of the code
are x86-specific, but it also speeds up build times…
… in theory, because removing 677 lines from 49 files each doesn't seem
to speed up the build as much as I had hoped? But apparently my whole
system mysteriously got faster in the meantime, and I was getting 22-23
seconds for the entire repo even before this commit. Good enough.

It's not necessary for assigning `__seg` pointers to `far` ones, which
might even remove the <dos.h> dependency in some translation units.

Oh, wait. Due to ridiculously unlucky alignment, we can't actually
approach TH03's OP.EXE from the top of code segment 2… without
covering way too many functions at once, that is.
At least TH02 works out with "just" three functions at once. *If* we
add seg2 back to OP.EXE, where we previously needed to delete it… 😵

Whew, time to look at every `int` variable we ever declared! The best
moment to do this would have been a year ago, but well, better late
than never. No need to communicate that in comments anymore.
These shouldn't be used for widths, heights, or sprite-space
coordinates. Maybe we'll cover that another time, this commit is
already large enough.
