[Coco] l2update and bbs dsk images in nitros9 source tree

[Boisy Pitre]

It has always been my intention to fold some of the features of the L2 Upgrade into NitrOS-9. That’s mostly why those disk images exist in the repo.

They are "possibly" the only disks ever preserved of the work being done in the 90s by the "Upgrade Team" before Tandy dropped the Coco and Microware then desolved the team. There are a few features on those disks yet to be implemented in Nitros9 and some that were. There are no sources, only the demo disks and many notes in text files by members of the team, mostly Kevin Darling.
