* Moved sprite handling to a device.
* Adjusted audio balance on mechatt (channel 0 was overpowering everything).
* Adjusted priority handing on mechatt (planes now correctly rise from underground hanger on stage 3, train carts in later level).
* Split driver in two, general refactoring etc.
* Removed player 2 inputs from mechattu1 - it doesn't respond to them at all.

What's missing:
- parameters (like the disk name when it exists)
- possibly a cleanup of ram_open and friends (but not sure of the appropriate direction in which to go)

* Kill device_memory_interface in favour of direct address_map, QA always broken flip_screen in flags
* ms32.cpp: reinstated flip screen thru callback
* ms32.cpp: Make mixing to honor cliprects instead of erratic screen.width / height call
* Need a safeguard somehow, and a symbols build doesn't help here lalala
* Fix notes, cannot repro the bug, next
* Move irq assert/clear lines to device, add preliminary prg timer, make 30 Hz irq to behave like one.
(Note: very untested, feedback is appreciated)
* Send a prg timer ack if irq is disabled
* Misc cleanups
* Nuke emu_timers in favour of configure_scanline, preliminary bnstars1 hookup

* Kill off 30 Hz refresh rate hack in stepstag/vjdash sub screens
* Flag all those xtals as unknown

* Fix bool comparison to itself (blame JS habits), nuke bnstars1 mahjong
switch case altogether.
* Notes
* Fix bnstars1 crash
* update_color fn doesn't work without a memory_share_creator, documentation
* Translate clamp_to_12bits_neg to a constexpr method
* Fix crashing in main ms32 driver, except it now has very broken priority for seemingly no reason
* Fix nasty spriteram buffer RAM allocation bug
* Make objectram_size to be calculated at init time
* First (naive) pass in moving common interface to a ms32_base_state
Move m_irqreg save state from video_start to machine_start fn;
Fix embarassing palette overflow bug in ms32.cpp;
Add bitswap for bnstars1 mahjong panel;
.bytes() -> .length() for objectram_size;
* bnstars: template video handlers
* bnstars: fix config, split sprite chips/gfxdecode/palette into two, fix palette ranges
* ms32.cpp: implement proper irq acknowledge lines
* Add config setter in sysctrl for inverted vblank/field lines, make tp2ms32 and wpksocv2 happy
* Move f1superb to own state
* MS32 merge sound maps
* Remove TIMER_DEVICE_CALLBACK_MEMBER in favour of emu_timer
* replaced dgun2869 dump with good one [Sean Riddle]
* also did some work on the dreamGear unit, works now
