* Massive reduction in heap space allocation, going from settings struct
264kb to 119Kb
* Use NAME_MAX_LENGTH for base paths/names, etc
* Use DIR_MAX_LENGTH for directory sizes
- add reserved device check against device display name as well
- selected device name matching in menu with or without vid:pid
- cosmetical change in test input file
For each player, 2 new options are added:
- a reservation type (no reservation, preferred, reserved)
- a reserved device name
When handling port - player assignments, reserved devices
will be assigned to the respective player port. If reservation
type is "reserved", no other device can take that port
automatically.
Reservation config option and matching function lifted from:

Test joypad driver was extended for more tests.

A rationale is given in the comments, but even a class 6 or class 10 SD card can handle reads and writes on the order of MB/s, which means a 4KB chunk size is just wasting time in syscalls. This could maybe be fixed with a buffering reader but I don't feel comfortable tweaking libretro-common's VFS to handle that. Instead, I thought it would be good to both remove an ifdef and increase the chunk size to 128KB. For cores with small states this will should make state saving virtually instantaneous, and for cores with large states it should be a 32x speedup.
* Test driver for joypad inputs
Add a new joypad input driver:
- hide driver behind #ifdef and enable it in config_params.sh
- add a new config parameter to specify the test input file
- add aux files: additional config files that cancel out any binds
that may be present in RA config, autoconfig profile for
test joypads, test input file that matches controller test
sequence
* Fixes and comments for test input driver.
This puts the History and Favorites playlists (up to five items each)
in the Top Shelf menu. In order for this to be enabled you must build
it yourself and change the app identifiers for the TV app and Top
Shelf extension, and add both of them to an app group.
