Sorry, but this change was half-baked. It breaks a lot of existing
functionality and clearly hasn't been tested in more than a tiny subset
of use cases. Please play this work back onto your own branch, and test
it before submitting another PR.

- T0, T1 and PROG handlers are now 1-bit rather than 8-bit
- Eliminate several T0/T1 handlers that DEVCB macros can take care of now
- T0 CLK output emulation (untested)

This is an overhaul to how MAME handles options to provide a better foundation for what MAME is already doing in practice. Previously, core_options was designed to provide an input/output facility for reading options from the command line and INI files. However, the current needs (image/slot/get_default_card_software calculus and MewUI) go way beyond that.
Broadly, this PR makes the following changes:
* core_options now has an extensibility mechanism, so one can register options that behave dramatically differently
* With that foundation, emu_options now encapsulates all of the funky image/slot/get_default_card_software calculus that were previously handled by static methods in mameopts.cpp. Changes to emu_options should not automatically cascade in such a way so that it stays in a consistent state
* emu_options no longer provides direct access to the slot_options/image_options maps; there are simpler API functions that control these capabilities
* Many core_options functions that expose internal data structures (e.g. - priority) that were only really needed because of previous (now obsolete) techniques have been removed.
* core_options is now exception based (rather than dumping text to an std::string). The burden is on the caller to catch these, and discern between warnings and errors as needed.
Obviously this is a risky change; that's why this is being submitted at the start of the dev cycle.
