Guards against errors that are hard to track down:
- if crt0s is empty (eg. because crt0-y is still used), break the build, and say where that behaviour changed - if a stage is unusable for cbfstool because it's placed outside the ROM space (linked to 0 is somewhat notorious), warn about it, give some hints and exit instead of crashing.
