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.

Originally just a workaround to remove angles from the PI counter, but
having the sign indicate the Y direction also makes them a lot nicer to
read in C land.

I'm still impressed that something like this perfectly inlines in every
place that uses this functionality so far. Maybe something about each
parameter only being used once inside the single expression of the
function?

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.

Leading to slight complications in TH02's Music Room and shot type
selection menus. Thought about leaving those in C for a while, but I
still think it's worth it for the consistency we get with the VRAM
offset functions. Also, we'll have similar code for the main menus of
later games, and I'll surely won't be using C++ when starting out with
these.
