sony/news_r3k.cpp, sony/news_r4k.cpp, sony/news_68k.cpp, sony/news_38xx.cpp: Add software list for Sony NEWS systems

[briceonk]

Because both the r3k and r4k have some level of binary compatibility, I added these into the same software list even though the current entries only work for OS installs on one or the other, so I can change this if having separate ones would be preferred.

I have a similar situation with the Mac drivers. In the software list, I tag items with things like this for M68K only: <sharedfeat name="compatibility" value="MC68000,MC68020,MC68030,MC68040" />

or this for M68K and PowerPC: <sharedfeat name="compatibility" value="MC68000,MC68020,MC68030,MC68040,PPC601" />

And then in the driver, SOFTWARE_LIST(config, "cd_list").set_original("mac_cdrom").set_filter("MC68030,MC68040"); to indicate only software that's compatible with a 68030 or 68040 should match for this machine

or SOFTWARE_LIST(config, "cd_list").set_original("mac_cdrom").set_filter("PPC601");

For most machines you don't need to get that specific, "CISC" and "RISC" would probably work for NeWS, but it's nice that you can get that fine-grained

Cool! I'll update this. I won't have access to my computer for a few days but I'll update it when I get back!

Updated! Let me know if there is anything else you'd like me to change :)

Where do these dumps come from? Are they from your CDs, or did you get them from somewhere else?

The 4.2.1aR CD image is from WinWorld, the 4.1R floppy and Magento-optical dumps are from my upgrade set.
