Official releases of uxnasm won't assemble the cc output right now

[hikari-no-yume]

The version of uxnasm included in the macOS binary release at https://100r.co/site/uxn.html doesn't accept the output from this compiler right now:

$ gcc -I. -P -E examples/day3.c -o tmp.c
$ ./chibicc tmp.c > c.tal
$ uxnasm c.tal c.rom
Unknown token: main
Unknown token: main
Assembly: Failed to assemble rom.
$

lynn says it's because a bare token like main being a function call is a newish feature. It works when building the latest uxnasm from source (git clone https://git.sr.ht/~rabbits/uxn && cd uxn && ./build.sh).

I guess many other people might have one of these binary releases, so we might want to change the emitted function calls to work the old way.

For reference the "immediate rune" shortcuts that were introduced into uxnasm just 4-5 months ago are…

• ;func JSR2 becomes func
• ;label JMP2 becomes !label
• ;label JCN2 becomes ?label

The old forms each assemble into 4 bytes (LIT2 + address + opcode), the new forms into 3 bytes (opcode + address).

The old builds have been updated and should include a uxnasm that supports immediate words. No need to support the old forms. Even the self-hosted assembler(drifblim) that I use supports them.

Thanks, @neauoire! I think that nicely addresses this.
