* bus/nes_ctrl: Revised Bandai Hyper Shot to only use exp port calls.
- Also corrected Space Shadow mirroring. Now game properly blanks background every other frame.
- Use %p player specifier for B button.
- Use helper function for writing strobe bit
* bus/nes_ctrl: Work on Famicom joypads + more separation of EXP port.
- Enforced proper strobe behavior on joypads. Added helper function to controller interface for common pattern.
- Added proper expansion port version of joypad.
- Streamlined pachinko controller by making it an expansion joypad subclass. Moreover, ball launch lever now works correctly!
- Added missing battery-backed WRAM to Pachio-kun 5, game runs now.
- Simplified arcade stick a bit, now also a subclass of the expansion joypad.
- Rewrote Hori Twin and 4 Players adapters. The latter's 4P mode protocol now works. In theory this supports six players simultaneously, though all known games using it have duplicate controls for P1 and P2.
machine/nes.cpp: Removed hack that shifted bit 0 reads to support controller port joypads on expansion port. There shouldn't be any expansion port devices left that write to bit 0.
* Fix missing battery-backed WRAM for Royal Blood and Vegas Connection, while we're at it.
- Added daisy chain expansion port to Famicom paddle for Arkanoid II's versus mode.
- Also expanded range of paddle value reads to ensure full range of motion within all games' play fields.
