Update to bsnes v039r15? release.

Okay, new WIP. To my knowledge, the Qt port now matches or exceeds the
feature-set / quality of the hiro port in every regard, sans things
I've intentionally removed.

- added back all the UI shortcut keys
- started using Qt's resource compiler, rcc, to embed files into the
binary on all platforms; not as efficient as my base56+LZSS method,
but much more standardized and avoids string length limits in Visual
C++
- Linux port now sets the program icon from bsnes.png @ 48x48 (any
larger and the filtering makes it look bad)
- Windows port uses embedded 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 or 256x256 icon as
before
- all windows now rise to the top when they are shown
- replaced about screen -- it's just a placeholder for now so that
it's not modal. Want to put the logo on there, with the rest of the
info and a webpage link below
- removed 'Ok' button from document viewer window
- killed icon48.h and controller.h, ~100kb worth of source. Right now,
hiro port shows black boxes in their place. I'll do something nice
with it later; but I don't want to grow the source that big for the
non-standard target
- added .zip, .gz and .jma to filter, based on compilation flags

Thinking about killing src/data, putting the necessary stuff in each
platform folder. Just a slight issue with windres taking a relative
path to the working directory, so it won't allow easy renaming of the
ui folder names if I do that. Can work around it with 'cd' command in
the Makefile, I suppose.

Would be nice to take advantage of rcc a bit more: it's very easy to
use 16x16 / 32x32 icons inside the UI for eg menu and config panel
list icons. Just going to be tough to make nice icons for them.

Stuff removed from hiro:
- controller graphic:
I love this graphic and want to have it in the official binary, but it
looks really odd when it's only there for one controller type ...
should we keep it anyway? If so, I'll embed it with rcc.
- trace logging hotkeys:
Want to replace these with a real debugger that will have buttons for
them. That will be a long-term goal, of course. May add shortcut keys
for the debugger functions too at that time.
- frameskipping:
Probably the biggest one, I didn't want to re-add this as the new PPU
will make it pointless anyway. If we do add this back for the fast
PPU, I'll probably keep the option hidden from the UI side.

Sounds good, but I'd like to check with Nach first. He seems to be on
extended leave at the moment.

Wasn't aware ST-0010 had any problems. Not sure if it's bit-perfect or
not anymore, but it definitely has no DSP timing.
