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 no longer force translation units that access the resident
structure into #including that mistake that was ReC98.h.

The supposedly low-hanging fruit that almost every outside contributor
wanted to grab a lot earlier, but (of course) always just for a single
game… Comprehensively covering all of them has only started to make
sense recently 😛
Also, yes, the variable with the uppercase .CFG filename has itself a
lowercase name and vice versa…

Something small that came out of the resident structure review.
Including more research to suggest that we probably can't ever use C++
constructors for anything in ReC98.
