35sec utilities detection

  New ability has been added in version 1.4 do detect (nearly) all residents
shipped with 35sec. It detects only presence in memory.

  Call Int13 with EAX = $35EC 1515 and BX = 0. Upon return, bits will be set
in BX register according to residents loaded.

35sec callbacks

  EAX contains magic value EAX = $35EC CA11
  BX contains info on event
    BH = 00 R/W operation done
    BH = 01 R/W operation done with error
      BL =
          7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
                        X - write operation

    BH = 02 attempt to read from floppy while working
      carry clear -> return error
