This branch addresses issue #7 affecting updated 29MHz products using 55ns flash memory, and will become part of the master branch once approved for release.

There may be instances where we want a non-zero MTCR even if the
spectrum spreader is disabled.  By leaving it unmodified, it might still
be zero from the default startup value, or set non-zero elsewhere.
This increases the /OE timing margin for 29MHz products with 55ns
flash memory for the brief moment before _enableClockModulation()
enables it, and ensures it's still enabled if the spectrum spreader is
disabled.

This change ensures that we don't disable "early /OE" if it was previously enabled. Startup default is disabled (0x00), but the StdBios.c change around line 2455 will automatically enable it on all products with a doubled clock, and later code in this function enables it before turning on the spectrum spreader.

This change, backported from Dynamic C PR 30, enables "early /OE" before enabling the clock doubler.

Note that Dynamic C 9 could use the existing code from that sets MTCR and its shadow to 0 if the clock doubler is disabled, since there isn't any code earlier in the BIOS attempting to set it (as the Dynamic C 10 patch does for the RCM4110).
