The single underscore version is actually slightly more supported among
the compilers I've seen so far. Also added the exact list now.

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.

eeb4e7e changed the final C translation unit that used this header to
C++, and we got some more helpful inline functions upcoming.

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.

And this is how you make code less undecompilable by improving your
pointless micro-optimizations to use more registers instead of
self-modifying code. Worth it if only to get rid of the branches in
TH04's undecompilable ASM implementation.
