For each player, 2 new options are added:
- a reservation type (no reservation, preferred, reserved)
- a reserved device name
When handling port - player assignments, reserved devices
will be assigned to the respective player port. If reservation
type is "reserved", no other device can take that port
automatically.
Reservation config option and matching function lifted from:

A rationale is given in the comments, but even a class 6 or class 10 SD card can handle reads and writes on the order of MB/s, which means a 4KB chunk size is just wasting time in syscalls. This could maybe be fixed with a buffering reader but I don't feel comfortable tweaking libretro-common's VFS to handle that. Instead, I thought it would be good to both remove an ifdef and increase the chunk size to 128KB. For cores with small states this will should make state saving virtually instantaneous, and for cores with large states it should be a 32x speedup.
it is more convenient to provide the URL via make option rather than
rely on hardcoded value in the code base. it provides more flexibility
in case of different servers for stable, daily, canary, community, ...
and instead of parsing a file in the filesystem to obtain target name of
the device on which lakka is running, we can provide the target name at
build time as well. the target name is used for the full path URL for
the download of updates.
there is no need to have these values editable via retroarch frontend
and saved in the config file. it is safer to provide them at build time
and have them set this way.
