Oliver Schmidt 91beb8670f Added SLIP support to retro platforms.
The cc65 tool chain comes with V.24 drivers so it seems reasonable to use the existing Contiki SLIP driver to implement network access via SLIP as alternative to Ethernet.

Some notes:
- The Ethernet configuration was simplified in order to allow share it with SLIP.
- The Contiki SLIP driver presumes an interrupt driven serial receiver to write into the SLIP buffer. However the cc65 V.24 drivers aren't up to that. Therefore the main loops were extended to pull received data from the V.24 buffers and push it into the SLIP buffer.
- As far as I understand the serial sender is supposed to block until the data is sent. Therefore a loop calls the non-blocking V.24 driver until the data is sent.

On all platforms there's only one V.24 driver available. Therefore V.24 drivers are always loaded statically.

On the Apple][ the mouse driver is now loaded statically - independently from SLIP vs. Ethernet. After all there's only one mouse driver available. However there's a major benefit with SLIP: Here all drivers are loaded statically. Therefore the dynamic module loader isn't necessary at all. And without the loader the heap manager isn't necessary at all. This allows for a reduction in code size roughly compensating for the size of the SLIP buffer.

Oliver Schmidt a6472c8dd9 Revert to static Ethernet driver for the ATARI.
After all there's no momentum for a W5100-based Ethernet solution on the ATARI. So I revert to static linkage of the CS8900A driver as this improves program load times.

Oliver Schmidt fb5d0b7ef0 Made 80 column display a cc65 application attribute.
So far 80 column display was an attribute of a cc65 platform. Now each cc65 application can ask for 80 column display by defining WITH_80COL. Of course this is ignored by platforms incapable of 80 column display.

I see three types of application:

* Applications not benefitting from 80 column at all and in fact looking better with 40 column display. These are now using 40 column display. Examples: ethconfig, ipconfig

* Applications taking advantage of 80 column display if it is available without drawbacks. These stay as they were. Examples: Telnet server, web server, wget

* Applications needing 80 column display so urgently that it is likely desirable even if the display becomes harder to read. These come now in both flavors allowing the user to choose. Examples: IRC, web browser

Note: This change doesn't actually introduce any 80 column display with drawbacks. This if left to a subsequent change.

Oliver Schmidt fc9d38caba Reduced default for number of connections.
Save some memory by reducing the the default for number of connections from 10 to 2.

Oliver Schmidt fc983e2e79 Copied 'contiki_arg[c|v]' from 'native' to the other desktop targets.
- On the retro targets support for 'contiki_arg[c|v]' is optional as accesing arg[c|v] is rather expensive.
