** Added

Displacements in the Stage0-vm no longer match that of the Knight hardware platform; instead of from the start of the instruction, from the end of the immediate to the target address.
The Stage0-vm has relocated the 2OPI and 1OPI instructions and adjusted their encodings accordingly to simplify instruction size logic.
The Skip class instructions now lookup the first byte of the instruction that follows them and skips the appropriate size instead of 4 bytes always.
