#47 coff file generation broken, and internally confused

At some point, it looks as though coff file generation
was made unconditional, but the code that WRITES to the
file still checks for the argument being specified. As
a result, the coff file is created, but nothing gets
written to it, and we end up with a zero-length foo.coff
after successful assembly.

If the --coff argument is added back in, the filename
argument is ignored and we get foo.coff generated, but
at least it has contents.

Not knowing anything about coff files, I can't tell
whether the coff support is unfinished or just broken.
I can come up with a patch to allow it to be turned on,
but I don't want to do that if the avra code isn't ready
to generate proper coff files anyway.

    I can confirm this behavior and was wondering about this
    0-byte .cof file generated every time, too.

    As of cf495f37d49c95ef085586e34fb9cab2f5d5fadd version in git AVRA no longer generates an empty COFF file.
