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 '''MKS$''' function converts a [[SINGLE]] numerical value to a 4 byte [[ASCII]] string value.
{{PageSyntax}}
:: 4byte_string$ = MKS$(single_value)
* The single number value is converted to four ASCII characters. To prove this try: PRINT MKS$(1345678).
* [[SINGLE]] values can range up to 7 decimal point digits. Decimal point accuracy depends on whole value places taken.
* MKS$ string values can be converted back to SINGLE numerical values using the [[CVS]] function.
* [[SINGLE]] numerical variable values [[PUT]] into a [[BINARY]] file are automatically placed as an MKS$ [[ASCII]] string value.
