RetroArch: Standalone Cores Submenu/Tab
87This is intended to simplify (and prettify) the usage of contentless cores, avoiding the current Load Core - Start Core inconvenience.
The menu is configured via a new Settings - User Interface - Menu Item Visibility - Show 'Standalone Cores' option, which has the following values:
All: Show all contentless cores in the menu
Single-Use (default): Show only cores that are designated as having a 'single purpose' in their info files (i.e. standalone games/applications)
OFF: Hide the menu
In follow-up PRs we are plan to add runtime logging for these cores + thumbnail support.
Important note: This functionality is only enabled for platforms that support the loading of dynamic libraries (HAVE_DYNAMIC). Unfortunately, static builds have no mechanism for loading and running a core in a single step via the command line interface unless a content path is provided. It is possible to 'fix' this, but it is a major undertaking that would require modifications to every frontend driver - a task that is well beyond the scope of this PR. The new menu is sparingly #ifdef'd out on static platforms, so it should be trivial to enable it if the underlying issue is resolved...
