OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS: PETSCII MAZE

This example is inspired by an example posted in some groups, which compares the execution speed of BASIC 2.0, BASIC 2.0 compiled with BasicBoss, and, finally, directly from ugBASIC. This code is specific to ugBASIC and serves to provide benchmarks of achievable performance.
