Update to bsnes v033r06? release.

New WIP. Adds some more HDMA timing improvements, DMA bus hold
simulation, and hopefully proper detection for ST011, which should
mean that every unsupported game will now notify you of that fact.

Also, I finally got around to writing that status bar message queue
system I mentioned a long time ago. Should make Deathlike happy. It'll
tell you whenever any UI event occurs (load, unload, reset, power
cycle, UPS patch applied, unsupported chip detected, config file /
locale file load, etc.)
Obviously if you turn off the status bar, you won't see them. Not a
problem for me personally: if you want to see status messages, leave
it on.

With that, I removed the annoyingly bland message window, and muted
the terminal message printing, putting it all inside the statusbar
instead.

I also got rid of some now-unused config variables, misc.status_text
(it was kind of overkill to let that be customizable) and
cpu.hdma_enable (it's always enabled now.)

Opinions on the new status bar system welcome.

I've also set the SNES to report itself as 2/1/3, rather than 1/1/1.
Since I don't emulate things like the HDMA conflict crash, I figured I
may as well set it to the CPU revision that doesn't have it.

With the above changes, I was able to eliminate the flicker in-game in
all modes, as well as get rid of it ~80+% of the time on the title
screen. Only once every ~5 restarts will you see it for _maybe_ one
frame.

That's really the best I can do, I'm afraid. It's so subtle I doubt
anyone will even notice it now. Like Winter Olympics and Adventures of
Dr Franken, I'm not going to consider it an active bug (yes, how
convenient), but I'll watch the game closely with future timing
changes. Hopefully it'll go away entirely with more refinements in the
future.
