Get rid of the renderer thread. It is now the main/UI thread on all
platforms. The emulator runs in a separate thread.

This adds support for separate config and data dirs.
On Linux, these will be compliant XDG Basedir Specification, i.e.
XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS (or XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_DATA_DIRS
respectively). On all other platforms, there currently just set to the
homedir path (so no previous behaviour has been changed).
If reicast wants to read and write a data file, it just calls
get_data_path("/samplefile.txt"). If it does not need to write to
that file, it just uses get_data_path("/samplefile.txt", false). That
way, we can also use system-wide dirs (like /usr/share/reicast on
linux), that the user usually doesn't have write access to.
The same applies for config file, where you use get_config_path(args)
respectively.
This adds the OSS audio backend and removes OSS code from
core/linux-dist/main.cpp and core/sdl/main.cpp.
The OSS backend will be included during compilation if the USE_OSS
flag is set.
Although OSS code in core/linux-dist/main.cpp depended on the
TARGET_PANDORA flag instead of USE_OSS, the latter should work too
since it is defined in the Pandora Makefile (lines 7 & 83).
This makes it possible to have multiple audio backends compiled into
reicast (e.g. ALSA & OSS on Linux). These can then selected by the user
via a config option ("backend" iin the "audio" section). It *should*
also be possible to reduce the number of platform-specific ifdefs with this
approach.
Audio backends need to define a struct (audiobackend_t) that holds a
pointer to it's init, push and term function and also a slug and a name
as string. They then need to pass a pointer to this struct to
RegisterAudioBackend() before InitAudio() is called.
For now, I defined a function (RegisterAllAudioBackends) that get's
called exactly once (i.e. upon first call of InitAudio()), where
we can put ifdef'd RegisterAudioBackend() calls into for each backend
that reicast supports.
Please note that this commit just implements the basic audio backend
system - no backends have been ported to the new API yet. For the meantime,
reicast will run without any audio support accross all systems.
