Comments: I didn't touch anything to do with the old/new galaxian drivers yet. I'm waiting to do that later as I anticipate that will be pretty major with number of changes and number of notes.
* moved color blending (background & subscreen color addition/subtraction) at the end of the drawing process.
* removed some unused (and not working anymore) debug code
out of whatsnew, I also undid 2 small changes which entered rev 8257/8258 by mistake (one of which was responsible of dynamic resolution breakage).
side note: finally video/snes.c do not directly refers to snes_ram anymore (except for debug logging). this will be of use, if I ever get to make a device for the PPU :)

Fair warning: the PSX GPU locks up infinitely rendering a triangle if you let
it go past the first logo screen. If you coin up there it's fully playable.
- Added frame buffer
- Fixed sprite list end, negative coordinates, wrap around
- Added battery backed RAM

Joker's Wild (B52 system, Harrah's GFX) [Roberto Fresca, Tomasz Slanina, Gerald Vanderick]
Doesn't do much at the moment, but the increase in documentation value is
significant (we're documenting the sample compression format, for one thing).
Replaced all occurrences of OPTION_DEBUG in src/osd/* by checking machine->debug_flags
Replaced all occurrences of DEBUG_FLAG_ENABLED in src/osd/* by DEBUG_FLAG_OSD_ENABLED
For the time being, DEBUG_FLAG_OSD_ENABLED is default (set in mame.c)
Debugger: avoid clearing DEBUG_FLAG_OSD_ENABLED
- ui_input_frame_update is now global
- moved element_component from rendlay.c to rendlay.h
- added ability to rendlay.c to define "container" components. These simply provide a render_container.
I plan to remove the above again and simply use one container covering the whole render_target. This container will be rendered after the artwork and before the ui. For this to work, DViews need move and resize support. Render_targets will than be equivalent to virtual desktops.

This is just stage one of converting OG's stuff, please do not touch any

debugging the results.
