Update to bsnes v039r04? release.

Well that wore me out ... the UI went from 45kb to 109kb in one night,
with no copy/pasting.

New WIP:
- re-added the InputManager + InputDevicePool classes. The latter is
very complicated, but impressive
- re-added Input Configuration Editor
- re-added Cheat Code Editor
- re-designed individual cheat code editor
- re-added Path Editor
- stopped subclassing QWidget w/Q_OBJECT to work around Qt stylesheet
bug
- re-added controller port selections

Sorting by column header clicking is screwy. It has to be manually
enabled, and the second you do that it re-orders everything. This is
really bad when you want the default order, eg "up, down, left ..." or
your default cheat ordering; so I had to leave it off. Would be too
tacky to add a numeral ID column to work around that.

Seems Qt also has a ridiculously complex tree view (MVC-based), but
thankfully they added a simplified version that works well enough,
QTreeWidget. Only problem is I can't seem to make it hide the child
expander space at the very left-most side. This creates an annoying
little gap. Anyone know how to hide those with Qt?

Even got checkboxes inside the list to toggle cheat codes.
Documentation could've been clearer there.

Speaking of which, I was able to use child nodes on the cheat code
list to show each individual cheat code, but it just didn't look right
to me. There was a ton of blank space on the sides. I can actually
fill in multi-line descriptions as well here, but it still looks
really tacky in my opinion.

Thought about using add code + append code + delete code and putting
the textboxes back, but that just seems tacky and error prone, too.
I'm not adding individual descriptions for each code sub-part.

Only way I can think to make it work that way would be to replace the
multi-code method with a grouping affinity (eg group codes 1+3 into a
set), but then we're getting really complex, with a minimum of 5-6
buttons on the window and 3 text boxes. I think the learning curve
would be too high to be worth it.

So, I used the old method, but instead of a textbox to paste in codes,
I went with a slightly less error prone method of a textbox for the
description and a listbox for each code part. Threw in add / delete /
delete all for the code list. Takes a bit longer if you're trying to
copy/paste codes off the web, but the increased intuitiveness and
consistency is worth it in my opinion.

New cheat code editor (description typo due to extreme fatigue)

There's a lot of rough edges and few safety checks, so if you try to
break things you probably can.

Overall, really having fun with the Qt API. It can be awkward at
times, but it's definitely the most straight-forward API I've seen so
far.
