- minor change to stream input handling
- no more linear lists for nodes. All node processing switched to linked lists.
- module step and reset now only get a node pointer passed
- Added discrete_info * pointer to node
- Only nodes with a step routine actually get processed.
- Fixed a bug: discrete logs did not work since some time
- preliminary parallel task constants; depending on results these may vanish again.

Fix NULL timers crash in the mc6845. [hap]

Fixed IM2 interrupt cycles in the Z80 core. [eke]

- Introduced DISCRETE_TASK_START, DISCRETE_TASK_END
- DISCRETE_TASK_START: Start a new task. A task is a set of nodes which only depend on input nodes and nodes in the set
- DISCRETE_TASK_END(task_output_node): Marks the end of the task. task_output_node is the node whose output over time should be preserved. This node can be accessed by nodes in the main thread.
- Illustrated the concept in the dkong discrete emulation. This also has been enhanced to buffer DAC output.
- Discrete tasks now support multiple task output nodes

Further discrete changes: [couriersud]
- DISCRETE_OUTPUT now is a stepping node.
