Add .gitignore with binaries and some folders
This commit adds a .gitignore file which includes a few common
binary file extensions, dumps, the build-script's working folder,
a private folder for convenience and an ignore for the VSCode
editor's configuration folder.

Delete GDT-related files
This commit deletes the gdt.asm for the i386 architecture as it was
quite buggy in that state. In a short while, the real GDT code which
works is going to be committed.

Save progess, then delete GDT for rewrite
This commit saves the progress made on the GDT; the files are deleted
quickly thereafter as the code was quite buggy.

Try to fix GDT; unsuccessful
This commit just existed because of a misunderstanding leading to the
belief that the GDT was finally working; it wasn't though.

Add private, build and vscode folder to .gitignore
The private folder is for convenience, for putting some files away and
for own TODO lists; generally for data which is related to the project
but shouldn't be committed.

The build folder contains intermediate/object files for building the
different stages; it should be ignored explicitly, even though the
file ending of all files marks the folder as ignored implicitly.

Add README.md for loader on i386
This commit adds a README.md file for the loader partition in the i386
architecture version. The README contains basic information about what
the loader partition has to do and to some degree on how it should be
accomplishing those tasks.

It is just general information which can be useful to have for looking
information up after some time.

Add build script
This commit adds a build script for the loader partition. Currently,
it is very simplistic, but it works for assembling the entry.asm,
which in turn includes all other files.

Add stage 2 loader entry point
This commit adds the entry point for the second stage of the loader.
It currently doesn't contain a lot of code, but it will have to expand
in the next bit of time.

Intermediate commit to add GDT
In this commit, it was tried to set a linear GDT. It didn't work; but
in the future, it will.

Add A20 line check
This commit adds a check for whether the A20 line is usable; checking
whether more than one megabyte of RAM can be used. If it isn't usable,
it currently isn't activated, but rather, the boot process is stopped.

Add .gitignore with binary executable files
This commit adds a basic .gitignore which only contains machine code
file endings; files which shouldn't be committed as they're better to
be distributed in other ways.
