-----------------------------------
Astro Grover (prototype) [CPUWIZ]
- bus/a800: add preliminary Corina ROM cart support;
- bus/a800: bbsb bankswitch works on reads too, makes it playable;
- atari/atari400.cpp: bulk replace cart tags into m_cartleft / m_cartright, move config_ntsc_screen / config_pal_screen to parent state class;
- atari/maxaflex.cpp, atari/bartop52.cpp: convert to screen raw params;
- atari/atari400.cpp: fix a130xe extended RAM out of bounds accesses, fixes t34 after disk swap;
* Cleaned up spaces in software list comments.

* gbcolor.xml: Converted "GBC only" comments into sharedfeat tags.
* a5200.hsi: Fixed a few dispossessed tags.

* Various softlists: More entabulation fixes.
Get rid of a couple of copies of the CC0 text. Add header comment to
CC0 files to remind people editing them what the terms are. Also add
some missing XML headers. The header comments in layouts won't bloat
the binary - they get stripped out before compressing, same as any other
comments.
coleco.xml: Commented set cbsmon for which I could not find any documentation on origin or validity. No screen shots of it working in any emulator either and doesn't have the telltale cart header "AA55/55AA". (nw)
Renamed select sets for Nintendo Vs. which cause -verifysoftware confusion with NES softlist titles due to shared setnames in the form of partial hits. This also tests the waters for expanded setnames for parents (nw)
- Rewritten cart emulation to use slot devices (many
"mappers" do not fully work) and unified cart handling
among 8bit home computers, XEGS and Atari 5200
- Added support for loading carts with bankswitch to all XL/XE
models
- Added support for loading XEGS carts in Atari 8bits home
computers (XEGS instead will only load XEGS games until
support for the keyboard add-on is included)
- Big clean up of the driver, simplifying memory map, removing
writes to ROM, etc.
- Changed NOT_WORKING flag to IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS
in 600XL, 65XE, 800XE and XEGS since they should now be
working to the same extent of the 800XL, and bugs shall be
reported.
as a consequence of the above changes, the new softlists a800.xml, a5200.xml
and xegs.xml are not compatible anymore with 0.154: keep the old xmls until
0.155 if you don't compile your own exe
