Fixes #332

This project hasn't had a commit in awhile, so this is more of a messy sweep-up job than anything else. Months of negligence on a "nightly" versioned project leads to several compilation failures, which have now been fixed. These include the merging of `collections` and `alloc` crates. The change of the `Unique` struct. And a new target option has been added, which made cross cross compilation fail. There have been also several general improvements. These include the new use of the `x86_64` crate, instead of x86, which simplifies code (but also requires a quite larger stack). This enables interrupt handling to be greatly simplified when paired with the new "x86-interrupt" abi. Also there is a small change to printing that allows for waiting for the writer to flush. This is very useful for color switching. Finally there have been a few minor changes, including changing the name of the ugly `(ARCH)-unknown-none-gnu` to `(ARCH)-ESALP`. And a small .gdbinit file has been added which should simplify debugging with qemu. Many of these changes are better shown my themselves in Blog-OS. Please see phil-opp/blog_os#289 phil-opp/blog_os#325 and phil-opp/blog_os#333 for more details.
