Cheat Type F6 lets you perform cheats in IF / ELSE IF / ELSE constructs along
with multiple conditions for each one.

It supports conditions D0, D1, D2, D3, E0, E1, E2, E3, A0, A1, A2, A3, D7 and
two new types that will only be available in the F6 conditions :-
E4 & E5 which are bit comparisons on bytes (set and clear).

Any of those types which are "block conditionals" like D7 will be treated as a
single condition with the other conditions so you wont need to worry about
extra 00000000 FFFFs just for them (infact you can drop them completely apart
from the last 00000000 FFFF, which you can also drop if you have no trailing
cheat lines after the end of the construct.

#IF / ELSE IF / ELSE Statement Example with Notes
80001000 00000001 Setup Test Condition 1
80001004 00000002 Setup Test Condition 2
80001008 00000003 Setup Test Condition 3
8000100C 00000004 Setup Test Condition 4

                1F = IF, last two digits determine the number of conditions to check
                F600000x  x = 0 All conditions must be true, x = 1 At least One condition must be true
