floppy: support arbitrary first-sector numbers
The current floppy_struct allows floppies to number sectors starting
from 0 or 1. This patch allows arbitrary first-sector numbers - for
example, 0xC1 for Amstrad CPC disks.
This extends the existing 1-bit field (FD_ZEROBASED, bit 2 of stretch)
to 8 bits (FD_SECTMASK, bits 2 to 9).
Currently 0x00 denotes a first sector number of 1, and 0x01 denotes a
first sector number of 0. We extend this by interpreting FD_SECTMASK
as the first sector number with the LSB flipped.
