Enable 'contentless' operation by automatically loading game files from frontend system directory #19
This PR allows the core to be run in 'contentless' fashion (i.e. Load Core -> Start Core) by automatically loading the game file dinothawr/dinothawr.game from inside the frontend system directory. Game assets will be installable via the new Core System Files Downloader menu (#13524) once this is merged: https://github.com/libretro/libretro-system-files/pull/4
Note that regular 'Load Content' operation is unaffected.
The idea here is to facilitate operation of 'single use' cores by skipping the unnecessary manual loading of essential content, and to enable the frontend to automatically place said content in the correct location. This is a required step for the planned addition of a RetroArch menu tab for launching 'single use' cores in a more refined manner.
