Retired the over-stretched "system type" flags. Functionally, the only difference between the system definitions is that GAMEL lets you specify an additional internal layout and SYST lets you specify a compatible system. COMP and CONS are just aliases for SYST - the aliases can be phased out. Removed arcade.flt and mess.flt altogether - opinion seems to be split between misinterpreting them as fully supported and considering them unnecessary. They were marginally useful as a performance test for makedep.py, but that isn't important. We still have nl.flt as an example .flt file (although it doesn't use "-" exclude directives). Moved the UI active flag from the machine to the UI manager. Nothing else uses it anyway (it's still accessible to scripts).
