Renamed .ASM files to .A86

Original source code used .A86 but I named them .ASM for GitHub to provide syntax highlighting. Now I've decided that it's better to keep the names original.

-> All 8086 assembly language source files in this repository should use the extension .A86; however, I have chosen to use the extension .ASM instead because GitHub does not detect .A86 files as assembly. To build the source code under CP/M or Cromemco CDOS, you must rename all .ASM files to .A86.
+> All 8086 assembly language source files in this repository use the extension `.A86`, because 86-DOS was originally assembled using the SCP Z80/8086 Cross Assembler running under Cromemco CDOS. To build 86-DOS under 86-DOS itself or MS-DOS, you would have to rename all `.A86` files to `.ASM`.
