Allow SUBMIT.COM to work with CCP, not just CCPZ
This pull-request closes #91 by allowing SUBMIT.COM to run correctly under out default CCP. I started out by comparing the handling of the BATCH-processing with the "original CCP". That lead to using some labels and breaking down the FCB structure into commented fields. However pretty quickly I realized the actual issue was related to testing the console. In the original z80-playground CCP the code for testing for pending input read: ``` ; Routine to check the console for a key pressed. The zero ; flag is set is none, else the character is returned in (A). ; CHKCON: LD C,11 ;check console. CALL ENTRY OR A RET Z ;return if nothing. LD C,1 ;else get character. CALL ENTRY OR A ;clear zero flag and return. RET ``` However in my fork, for some unknown reason, it read: ``` CHKCON: LD A, FF OR A ;clear zero flag and return. RET ``` i.e. It would always decide there was a pending character to be read on STDIN, and that would _cancel_ the batch-processing. To resolve the failure it seemed like removing `CHKCON` entirely was the way to go. Our BDOS functions fake pending-input anyway, and nobody would press a key quickly enough to stop the processing of a SUBMIT-generated `$$$.SUB` file on-boot. TLDR; we aborted processing because we imagined pending console input was present, even though it wasn't.
