Add alt code to 2006/toledo2

The alt code is based on the author's remarks that should allow users
with non-standard systems like DOS/Windows which have conio.h to use
this program, replacing read(2) and write(2) syscalls. It need hardly be
mentioned that I have no way of testing this so it's possible I did
something wrong but it seems not the case (whether anything has changed
since 2006 that might also break it is unknown).

The bug status has been updated both that one bug is not actually a bug
but appeared to be a typo and there also appears to be a missing file
(IMPORT.COM).

There is [alternate code](#alternate-code) that is based on the author's notes
for DOS/Windows. This cannot be tested by us, not even to compile, but it appears
that it should be fine, after the proper header files were added.

## Alternate code:
Although the program does not crash when reading in `C.BIOS` it appears that the
CP/M emulator does not work as expected at least according to the author's
remarks.
This version, as noted, should work for DOS/Windows. It uses non-standard
functions in place of `read(2)` and `write(2)`.
See also [bugs.md](/bugs.md) for more details.
### Alternate build:
```sh
make alt

### Alternate use:
The author noted that for PC/DOS you will have to add `ANSI.SYS` to your
`CONFIG.SYS` but this is also not something we can test.
Use `toledeo2.alt` as you would `toledo2` above.

is not what is needed.
