[beta] MAX 6.0 uploaded to Sourceforge

As promised I've taken some time to look at the Morello project, which will possibly eventually add capabilities to Arm.  This is done in a slightly different way to what we've been doing in MAX, so this version is the result of some rethinking.  

GPRs now have only one tag bit, and it's stored separately, so that GPRs containing binary data (not a capability/codeword) have a full 128 bits available for data.  This has had a knock-on effect on a few instructions.

Now it seems "capability" has become the standard term, where I've been using "codeword".  So I've made this change throughout.

Overall the running hasn't changed significantly, except that Multitasking and garbage collection are back on hold since they need updating for the new tagging scheme.  They'll be back in the next version.

Have a great Christmas or whatever your festive occasion is!

Cheers,  Mike.
