Merged with strnskil.cpp, with modernization and cleanups. (nw)
Add MCFG_SCREEN_RAW_PARAMS. (nw)
Added coin counters to markham, strnskil, banbam and clones.
* softfloat3: do we like this better? (nw)
* softfloat3: it gets the hose again (nw)
* softfloat3: sonofa (nw)
* interpro: wip checkpoint (nw)
* added 6x00 models
* added EDGE graphics skeleton
* split bus/cards into two types
* various fixes/changes
* proposal: move z80daisy* to devices/machine
Seems to me this is a machine, not a CPU? Main reason was to stop the Z80 CPU from being dragged into systems that don't have one just because they use a Z80 family peripheral.
* missed this one (nw)
* missed a spot (nw)
* softfloat3: fix msvc build (nw)
Is this how we do these things? I assume we don't touch the library code itself, and have to "fix" any problems via this header instead?

This is a pre-usage import so everyone can get things in line for various compilers. GCC/Clang should be OK on most targets as-is;
MSVC may need to edit 3rdparty/softfloat3/build/MAME/build.h to conform. Please report failure/success with various compilers.
* add topcat template
HP topcat was an ASIC used on HP900/300 graphics cards.

* topcat: add basic configuration macros for fb planes, height and width
Signed-off-by: Sven Schnelle <svens@stackframe.org>
* hp98544: move logic to topcat video driver
Preparation to support multi plane graphic cards
like the HP98543/98545/98547.

* xtal: add 35.904MHz XTAL
* interpro: slotify mouse (nw)
Needed to make the mouse a slot device to enable it to be connected to graphics boards under development.
* add validity check (nw)
* bt45x: new devices
Basic implementation of various Brooktree RAMDAC devices. Two of these (bt457, bt458) are used by InterPro graphics boards currently under development, the others are unused/untested at this point.
* bt45x: tweak descriptions (nw)
Start replacing special device macros with additional constructors,
starting with ISA, INTELLEC 4 and RS-232 buses.
Allow an object finder to take on the target of another object finder.
(For a combination of the previous two things in action, see either the
INTELLEC 4 driver, or the Apple 2 PC Exporter card. Also check out
looping over a device finder array to instantiate devices in some
places. Lots of things no longer need to pass tags around.)
Start supplying default clocks for things that have a standard clock or
have all clocks internal.
Eliminate the separate DEV versions of the DEVCB_ macros. Previously,
the plain versions were a shortcut for DEVICE_SELF as the target. You
can now supply a string tag (relative to current device being
configured), an object finder (takes on the base and relative tag), or
a reference to a device/interface (only do this if you know the device
won't be replaced out from under it, but that's a safe assumption for
your subdevices). In almost all cases, you can get the effect you want
by supplying *this as the target.
Eliminate sound and CPU versions of macros. They serve no useful
purpose, provide no extra checks, make error messages longer, add
indirection, and mislead newbies into thinking there's a difference.
Remove a lot of now-unnecessary ":" prefixes binding things relative to
machine root.
Clean up some miscellaneous rot.
Examples of new functionality in use in (some more subtle than others):
* src/mame/drivers/intellec4.cpp
* src/mame/drivers/tranz330.cpp
* src/mame/drivers/osboren1.cpp
* src/mame/drivers/zorba.cpp
* src/mame/devices/smioc.cpp
* src/devices/bus/a2bus/pc_xporter.cpp
* src/devices/bus/isa/isa.h
* src/devices/bus/isa/isa.h
* src/devices/bus/intellec4/intellec4.h
* start looking at the extra opcodes in the SSD 2000 type XaviX chip (seems some undocumented 6502 opcodes are replaced with more custom ones)
* (nw)
* the xavix memory mapping gets stranger with each piece of new evidence (nw)
- High level emulation of serial keyboard (only sort of works; probably should be less sophisticated)
- Add double height and double width attributes
- Adjustable start of screen pointer (necessary for SET-UP mode)
- Reconfigure screen for 80/132-column and 50/60 Hz modes
dikeyboard: Add scan_complete callback (nw, sort of hacky but cit101 keyboard works worse without it)
- Use device_resolve_objects to resolve callbacks in output_latch_device (nw)
Note that this renaming is not just for human convenience; genie seems to get confused by modifications to a header called latch.h and decides to recompile everything involving gen_latch.h as well.
