makecontext / swapcontext faults

Using the deprecated user context handling interface can result in faults because makecontext
puts regular functions pointers into the context as a future ELR value for swapcontext
to return to, but they're sealed and may have the bottom bit set for C64, so when swapcontext
returns to user mode it immediately faults. It might not be worth fixing, however, because it's deprecated and little used.
(For example, I saw it while trying the boost context library, and there's a better way to make that work.)
