Soft-patching of BPS patches? #139

Soft-patching of BPS patches exists in various emulators that typically include the very same IPS and UPS that open_agb_firm already supports.

[RetroArch] https://docs.libretro.com/guides/softpatching/

currently supports UPS, IPS and BPS patching formats

[Snes9x GX] https://github.com/dborth/snes9xgx/releases/tag/4.3.8

Add BPS soft-patching support (thanks qwertymodo!)

The problem with BPS is that it's a huge pain to implement and if i recall correctly there are even unofficial formats to combine multiple BPS patches into one file.

I don't know when i will be able to support it.
