Bug description:
All 8085 assemblers I've seen support the DB 'string'
construction but not this one.
I've attached a patch to allow string declarations too.

There is a known minor bug: consecutive spaces inside
strings are compressed to just one space. To correct this I would have to break to much of the existing program structure and I'd rather not.

Appart from the above minor bug, strings enclosed in single or double quote are now allowed in DB and commas
inside strings are handled correctly.
