Add documentation of the new hex output formats. Thanks to text contributed by Tom LeMense, the manual now includes documentation of the hex formats he contributed. This also includes some updated text on the ORG directive. Only minor editorial changes vary the text from Tom's original.

>A raw binary is simply a string of bytes. There are no headers or other
niceties. Both LWLINK and LWASM support generating raw binaries. ORG directives
in the source code only serve to set the addresses that will be used for
symbols but otherwise have no direct impact on the resulting binary.</P
