Sugarbox v0.26 released

After a long time, Sugarbox is now available in version 0.26.

This update is mainly focused on IPF and Disk support, but it includes also a debugger (rather simple at the moment, should be improved in the next releases). Z80 emulation is a bit better (all Z80 tests are now correct).

Also, I tried to correct the feedback I get from the previous version.
