[sebhc] h17 and h8d disk images

[Jack Rubin]

The .h17 format preceded the .h8d - these images are "verbose" hex dumps
of various disks using Dave Wallace's algorithm. This is also the format
that Eric Rothfus uses with his SVD device. 

The .h8d format was developed by Dave Dunfield for his H8 emulator;
Stephen Parker transformed many .h17 disks into .h8d images by stripping
the track and sector info (and converting to binary?). At least for the
HUG material, the same disks should be available in both formats.
