Minimum version of 64tass needed to assemble Tali Forth 2 #59

One note about the .logical and .virtual assembler directives after merging PR #56:
This is apparently a new feature of 64tass - I had to upgrade for it to assemble with these new directives. I was on 1.54.1900 (did not work - I installed it in 2020) and am now on 1.56.2625 (assembles fine, this version released in 2021) by asking my package manager to install it for me (it's not the newest version, but is new enough).

TODO: Add 1.56.2625 as the minimum version for 64tass in the docs for how to assemble Tali. This is not the newest version (that's 1.59.3120 as of he time of this writing) and it's already a couple of years old, but not all platforms have a packaged 64tass and people might still be using an older version (like I was).

Added note in "Developing" section and regenerated .md and PDF versions of manual. The arguments to pandoc have also been updated (no longer need to specify ATX style headers (the kind with a # in front) as that is now the default).
