Update to bsnes v025r02? release.

Alright, posted a new WIP with the BS-X skeleton. The
BIOS needs to be named bsxbios.bin, and it can't have a header.

 There's also "Load Special -> Load BS-X Cartridge ...", but it
doesn't work yet. It maps the flash cart into $[c0-ff]:[0000-ffff],
but that doesn't do much good. The BIOS then detects the flash cart
and starts probing the memory mapping registers and eventually
deadlocks.

               To emulate the MMIO registers, I will have to
_completely_ rework my memory mapping code to support dynamic
remapping. Not necessarily a bad thing, I was planning to rewrite all
of that anyway (per my diagram yesterday). Might as well kill two
birds with one stone.

 Gonna take at least a few days of planning before I go at that. I
want to get it right this time, so I don't have to do this again.

               In the meantime, have fun walking around the dead St.
GIGA ghost town ;)

 Yeah, not sure what's up. I rarely have motivation to do anything
anymore, but it always comes in bursts. So I'll take advantage of it
now, and hope it doesn't burn out soon.

 I've a long way to go with BS-X before we can remove it, sadly. I
think we can remove when I get >50-75% of games loading. I doubt we
can reach 100%. There's missing info, corrupted / hacked BS ROMs
galore, and I don't even have BS-X hardware to test with.

 Sorry about that, it's not intentional. The thing is that no BS-X
games are even playable yet. I suppose when it's stable, I'll post
another public version, assuming the core is still stable with all the
plans I have for it.

               Sorry about that :(

 Side note: I also posted v0.025a, which removes the warning message
when SRM files don't exist. Nothing else is different, though.
