romload.cpp: reduce copy-pasta (nw)
(nw) I fixed the errors found by adding validation to software list data areas.
Most of them seem to be simple copy-paste errors hidden by the fact that the
default device_image_interface loader ignores the data area size (as opposed to
the "ROM" loader). There was one C64 cartridge with a missing zero on the data
area size that was pretty clearly wrong.
- New dumps (all working, dumped by me):
Ai Shimai - Futari no Kajitsu
Doukyuusei 2 Special Disk
Super Ultra Mucchin Puripuri Cyborg Maririn DX

S. A. 2
- Promoted Music Pro-Towns to working and added usage instructions.
- Replaced MS-DOS 6.20 L10 with the images from the Master CD, which should match the original disks. The previous images were the "installed" floppies that can be created from the original ones.
- Replaced entries with dumps from the redump.org database:

* Example data tidying
This is an example of what I'd like to do to the existing cassette dumps:
* Conform to 8.3 filename structure, for both the software name and ROM names
* Give credit to who dumped it, which also makes it easier to track these down
* Optimise the image with tapclean, which changes the file's hashes (but not the payload's magic CRC32, as the target data itself is unaltered)
Optimising the image makes it overall PASS instead of FAIL. I think this is as close as we can get to canon tape dumps.
* Give more examples of tidying up The Ultimate Tape Archive data
* Add a partial tape, B-side only
It's incomplete, but a start.
* Add a full tape, Hacker II
* Add partial dump of James Pond 2: RoboCod
* Add partial dump of Kettle
I'm only adding dumps that completely passed tapclean's inspection,
after optimisation. As this optimisation reduces wow and flutter
and other arbitrary timing aspects, it's reasonable to assume that
other people dumping the same tapes will be able to verify the present
sides and fill in the missing ones, which are oftentimes duplicates
anyway.
* Empty commit; note
Actually, that last commit message is incorrect. Identical dumps
have matching magic CRC32s (payload only), but not matching overall
CRC32s. There's still arbitrary data in there.
* These programs were rereleased by Hi Tec in 1989
...as per the inlay cards.
* Add full rerelease of Summer Camp
* Add Tetris
* Add The Greed Monster
* Fix part names; give credit

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.

(nw) The pcap.h header itself has the problematic original BSD license,
including the obnoxious advertising clause. Using tap/tun networking on
Windows provides a much better experience, so the extra setup is worth
it. This patch also allows you to enable pcap on platforms where it's
disabled by default with USE_PCAP=1 if you really want to use it.
