stephena 8a8d04031a Converted OSystem::getTicks() to use 64-bit integers. This should fix the
problems with integer overflow, which could sometimes cause Stella to
sleep for long periods of time.  For those who are interested, the
problem was that SDL_GetTicks() wraps every 49 days (32-bit int
overflow), but since OSystem::getTicks() provides info in microseconds,
it multiplied the value by 1000.  This caused wraparound in 49/1000
days, or 70.56 minutes.  This almost exactly matches the reports on
AtariAge of 'lockups' occuring every 71 minutes or so.  It also
explains why attaching to Stella with GDB and bypassing the delay
allows the program to continue (as reported by another bugtester).

Added signature to detect UA bankswitching for Gingerbread Man ROM.

Bumped version number.
