dos: change the link procedure to use negative pointers below DGROUP
Use negative pointer values below DGROUP, i.e. for the .payload segment. This makes it a lot easier to figure out if we are dealing with pointers that shouldn't come from where they do, since the DGROUP and .payload segments no longer overlap, and in fact are congruent.
