Subject: document labels.e; also clean up elf.e

the documentation in labels.e is entirely new, synthesized from informal private discussions.

this is also intended as a final pass to make sure all the comments and nuances in the ELF code from quine.asm are incorporated in elf.e.

also this uses the new `L@'` and `L!'` facilities for terseness

Force-Push: yes
