Short: DiskSpeed & ScsiSpeed for AmigaOS4

This is an AmigaOS 4 port of DiskSpeed and ScsiSpeed 4.2 by Michael Sinz.
Version 4.3 is missing some functionality from the original 4.2 version, such
as the GUI and the CPU usage code. Both DiskSpeed and ScsiSpeed are
currently CLI-only commands under OS4. I plan on changing this in the near
future, to add both of those items back in.
Another change is the alignment of the buffers used in both versions. Code
has been added to force the buffer to be 32-byte aligned when choosing
to use a LONG-aligned buffer so that proper measurements of DMA speeds
can be done. When choosing other tests, like BYTE or WORD aligned, this
will push the buffer off the 32-byte aligned boundary and can be used to show
the performance impact of not using 32-byte aligned buffers.
The CLI operation is the same as in version 4.2, so refer to the old
documentation for usage instructions. One exception is it still includes the
WINDOW argument, but the programs will ignore it should you try to use it.
