Luke Ceddia b586eafd3b Integrated _BLINEINPUT into regular LINE INPUT for BINARY files
LINE INPUT will now use the faster method if passed a file handle
that has been opened FOR BINARY. As such, the _BLINEINPUT command
has been removed.

qb64.bas now takes advantage of this for reading from '$include files,
at least in Include Manager 1. Some tweaking of internal/source/main.txt
was required to get things into a sane state, so I'm holing off changing
the compiler any further so the auto-builder can make sure everything's
smoothed over.

Note: Everything should still compile as normal; I'm just being overcautious.

The '''$''' is used to denote Qbasic [[Metacommand]]s or as a [[STRING]] variable type suffix.
''Usage:'' $INCLUDE: 'QB.bi'
* [[$STATIC]] denotes that all arrays can only be dimensioned once using [[DIM]].
* [[$DYNAMIC]] denotes that all arrays can be redimensioned using [[REDIM]] ONLY.
* [[$INCLUDE]] includes a BI file or Qbasic Library in a program. The file name requires a comment before and after the name.
* The [[STRING|string]] variable suffix MUST be used if the variable is not dimensioned in a DIM statement. The statement can also set a fixed string [[LEN|length]].
