Mark Pizzolato 10357a4ce3 SCP: Support running without built-in ROM or other boot code ...

Some potential packaging platforms do not want to package/distribute
simh simulators which have build-in binary code (ROM images or other
boot code) which may have unknown copyright status.  Historically Linux
distributed prebuild simulators but left it to a simulator user to reach out
on the web to pick up these needed pieces to actually use the simulator(s).

This addition allows the default simulator builds to include the needed
binary components built into the simulator(s).  In addition, it also
allows simlators to be built with DONT_USE_INTERNAL_ROM defined and thus
not to contain the material with potentially questionalble providence,
but to transparently reach out to the web to fetch the needed component(s)
when they are needed without any effort on the part of the simulator user.
