Update to bsnes v034r02 release.

New WIP.

First, the internal ROM header detected was enhanced. Nach was right,
so I went ahead and did it the right way ... it'll score all three
regions individually now, and then use some heuristics for those
annoying games that duplicate the header entirely in multiple places.
The hardest games to detect, that I recall, are Double Dragon and
Street Fighter Alpha 2, which seem okay. In fact, all ~50 of the games
I have seem to be working fine.
Please let me know if any games fail to start as of this WIP.

Second, finished updating all of src/memory to convert uint ->
unsigned. Yeah, I like the former more, but the latter is a built-in
type. Did the same to hiro, and converted Event to event_t, looks
nicer in code. Part of namespace libhiro, so no worries about other
things named event_t.

Third, added the frameskip cycling code. It just randomly chooses
which of the set of frames to display (random() % (frameskip + 1)).
Seems to work as expected, you can see Link blink when hit even with
FS=1, but obviously it stutters a bit more.

Fourth, I finally added RedDwarf and Nach's latest ALSA code. ALSA
will now with at 75% speed and with speed uncapped. It has the same
overhead as OpenAL. So, unfortunately, due to OpenAL's issues with
completely destroying echo / reverb for some reason, I'm going to have
to recommend Linux users set system.audio to "alsa" from now on :/
FreeBSD users should rely on "libao".

I'd like to release an update this weekend to address the ToP issue,
as well as a missing string in the translate[] hooks and to distribute
the new ALSA updates. I'm worried about the header detection changes
breaking some other games, though. So if you guys wouldn't mind
throwing a bunch of random games at it, I'd appreciate it.

It _should_ be fine, though. In theory, the LoROM / HiROM detection is
identical to the last release still, but I did restructure it, so you
never know ...

Oh, and I updated the website with new locales from Hatsuyuki, Itol,
khiav and wushu. Thanks, guys!
