Rearrange the segments a bit

Browse source 
* put TABLES in the low memory, before the bank switch window
* reserve bank switch window
* put rest of the code after that and before the framebuffer

so TABLES lives just before $4000
and MAIN lives in $8000-$bfff

could split some more code and/or data into low mem

and/or move the tables not used in extended memory mode into
the bank switch window so they take no address space on XE
or expanded memory machines
