Added flat assembler

[dminta]

Hello @MichalStrehovsky, Here is my implementation using flat assembler:

• executable size is 1536 bytes (less than MASM version)
• works fine on Windows 11
• prints "Kŕdeľ ďatľov učí koňa žrať kôru" correctly :)

The code uses macroinstructions described in Windows programming headers document.

Thanks! This will have to wait until we have a B-sides benchmark as mentioned here. There already is a compiler for assembly and I chose the one from the platform manufacturer as "canonical".

prints "Kŕdeľ ďatľov učí koňa žrať kôru" correctly :)

It would not print anything when redirecting output to a file though! Might depend on the use case, but it comes with a tradeoff nonetheless.

You're right, I've replaced WriteConsoleW with WriteFile and unicode headers with ansi; now it works like the MASM version.
