Description

I rewrote the Krakatau assembler and disassembler in Rust, and I strongly recommend switching to the Rust version, since it is faster and has more features. Additionally, some users report having problems with the Python version when using recent versions of Python 3.

I haven't rewritten the decompiler yet, so that remains Python 2.7 only for now.

Done means the application uses the Rust assembler and disassembler while the decompiler remains Python 2.7-only.
