FLI display routine

This is a simple FLI display routine. It works for standard multicolor FLI but it can also be modified to display IFLI by adding a simple $DD00 switch code.

You also can use this for hires FLI, however the first 3 char columns will only show a light grey area. To remove this area, a sprite would be required which takes 5 extra clock cycles per rasterline. This is possible if you unroll the main FLI display loop.

This displayer also opens the upper and lower border, because otherwise it would not be possible to display 200 rasterlines of FLI. Rasterlines $F8-$FF don't allow color DMA, so the last 3 rasterlines in the normal bitmap area are affected by that. To avoid those rasterlines, the bitmap is moved 3 pixels up. However, this moves the top 3 rasterlines into the border area. To display those, the border has to be opened.

This code was used for this release:

(You can also get the raw FLI picture data there)

V1.1 update: PAL/NTSC fix added.
