VIC-20 support is missing #18

I will have a PR soon for code that creates the dither and bin for Vic 20. I had to do some VIC canvas refactoring because of the craziness of vic 8 and 10 color hires/multi modes but it looks decent given the resolutions/color palettes. However, the .bin it will produce is going to be more raw and untested and likely in a useless format in practice. It will also upgrade the VIC canvas dithering (I think). For the .bin output, I'll try to "guess" the right thing but without code to test, who knows what will spit out! It's a work in progress.

Does the assembler support a VIc-20 target? Even if there's no emulator it still could be useful to auto-compile the code while editing. Someone could download their binary code and run in VICE for now. Although I suspect even that might be a lot of work, I don't know. E.g. other related features like the memory map would not apply in the same way as the Vic 20 and those would need a re-work (or exclusion).

You could try substituting "platform=vic20" into the URL and see ;)

Oops sorry, that doesn't work right now :(
