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.

Some of the unused interleave masks are not that straightforward, so it
makes sense to have all of them as a bitmap. I'm positive that this
sort of thing could have been EGC-accelerated… although, simply
writing better C would probably already go a long way.

Well well, the choice between sorting this function mechanically (and
putting it next to the EGC functions) or contextually (and putting it
next to the GDC SCROLL function)… Any choice would eventually turned
out suboptimal, I'm sure. 😅

Surprise, it's the (terribly suboptimal) setgsta() example function
from the PC-9801 Programmers' Bible! 100% identical, so ZUN must have
read that book as well.
Used for screen shaking effects, as well as the scrolling backgrounds
at the start of the Final Boss stages.
