WIP: 16C firmware hack for more memory

1) The standard 16 labels, but additionally LBL CHS <one hex digit>, and similarly GTO CHS snd GSB CHS, (32 labels total)

2) The standard 16 labels, but additionally allow LBL CHS <two hex digits>, and similarly GTO CHS and GSB CHS, for two-digit labels (256 labels total, as CHS 00-0F would be the same as the standard labels)

3) LBL, GTO, and GSB always require two hex digit argument, requiring 16C users to adjust to the new entry requirement (256 labels total, but consistent key entry)

I'm really surprised to be seeing support for (3) despite the breaking of compatibility. Doesn't (2) offer the same functionality, but with the no-longer-advanced idea of suppressing leading zeroes? And the benefit of compatibility with earlier, smaller, programs?
