Code quality stuff

• Use the same namespacing style everywhere, that being nn_<class>_<method> for functions related to "classes", nn_<function> for static functions, nn_<type>_t for types.
• Rework to API to be much more future-proof to reduce potential breaking changes.

Parity with Vanilla OC (only the stuff that makes sense for an emulator)

• in-memory version of filesystem
• complete the GPU implementation (screen buffers and missing methods)
• complete the screen implementation (bunch of missing methods)
• hologram component
• computer component
• modem component
• tunnel component
• data component (with error correction codes and maybe synthesizing audio)
• redstone component
• internet component
• disk_drive component
• computer.getDeviceInfo(), and subsequently, component device information
• computer.beep(frequency?: number, duration?: number, volume?: number), frequency between 20 and 2000 Hz, duration up to 5 seconds, volume from 0 to 1.

Bugfixes

• Do a huge audit at some point
• nn_unicode_charWidth appears to be bugged, look into that.

The extra components

• oled component (OLED screen, a store of draw commands and resolution from NN's perspective)
• ipu component, an Image Processing Unit. Can bind with oleds, and issues said draw commands
• vt, a virtual terminal with ANSI-like escapes. (and a function to get its resolution)
• (maybe) qpu component, a Quantum Processing Unit for quantum computing
• radio_controller and radio_tower components, for radio telecommunications
• (maybe) clock component for arbitrary precision time-keeping
• led component for LED matrixes and/or LED lights
• speaker component, allows playing audio by asking for binary samples and pushing a signal when it needs more
• microphone component, allows reading audio from nearby sources
• tape_drive component, compatible with Computronics, except maybe with proper seek times and support for multiple tapes
• cd_reader and cd_writer components, to work with CDs
• serial component, for serial communications with other devices (USB?)

Internal changes

• rework some interfaces to account for possibility of errors
• use dynamic arrays for signals (and maybe components), but still keep the maximums to prevent memory hogging
• setup an extensive testing system to find bugs easier
• check if ports are open in nn_pushNetworkMessage
