Added more modern generic I/O interfaces with implementation backed by stdio, osd_file and core_file, replacing io_generic. Also replaced core_file's build-in zlib compression with a filter.
unzip.cpp, un7z.cpp: Added option to supply abstract I/O interface rather than filename.
Converted osd_file, core_file, archive_file, chd_file and device_image_interface to use std::error_condition rather than their own error enums.
Allow mounting TI-99 RPK from inside archives.
- Rewrote 8237 to support games that were previous attached to sg_boog device. pocahon2, the only game previously using 8237, no longer crashes in its intro story.
- Removed all the old commented out sg_boog code.
- Added initial support for the 8237A variant and its one game, mc_9king.

Boogerman (Rus)
Made pbobble parent of bublbust, as it seems to be more widespread and
more complete. Also fixed some ROM labels for bublbust.
Made tbyahhoo parent of mtwinbee as the latter has substantial content
removed rather than being localised, making it less complete.
Applied srcclean to JSON files in bgfx subtree.
