Added '-md5instate' commandline argument, which determines how a state load

is related to the currently running ROM.  If enabled (the default and current
behaviour), state files that do not match the currently loaded ROM will not
be loaded.  Otherwise, the state file will attempt to load.  Note that in the
latter case, this will probably cause 'bad things' to happen.  It's mostly
for developers who are constantly recompiling a ROM, and wish to use a
previously created state file even when the ROM MD5 changes.
