This patch series updates μCsim, a collection of software simulators for
various microcontroller families, to version 0.8.0.

It also tries to improve the package by

- Modernizing it with the use of gexps.

- Disabling tests.  "make check" runs what is actually a regression-test
  suite[0], which is of little value here as it doesn't stop or return an
  error code when it encounters a problem.  In fact it has been quietly
  failing this entire time due to missing dependencies but because it doesn't
  report any errors, no one noticed.

  This change also eliminates the possibility of a circular dependency between
  μCsim and SDCC, which will become important with a future patch to the sdcc
  package.

- Moving the documentation to a separate "doc" output.

I've tested these changes on AArch64 and x86-64 and everything appears fine.
