Save states in libretro builds now also contain the state of the
pseudorandom number generator used to implement the WASI `random_get`
function for better save state determinism.
I've also changed the PRNG from MT19937 to PCG.
The binding coroutines in libretro builds are constructed on the VM
stack, so reallocating the VM memory would corrupt the memory of any
currently existing coroutines.
I've changed it so that the coroutines are no longer constructed on the
VM stack so that they're unaffected by VM memory reallocations, and
added a "slot" mechanism for storing variables on the VM stack. (Any
Ruby `VALUE`s used by a coroutine have to be stored on the VM stack so
that the Ruby garbage collector doesn't free them while they're being
used, which is why the slot mechanism is necessary.)
Files are written to the libretro save directory, which is mounted at
/save in PhysFS. All filesystem calls made from Ruby in libretro builds
are routed through PhysFS, so the game can just use any ordinary
filesystem function provided by Ruby to interact with /save.
It's also union mounted on top of the game directory (located at /game
in PhysFS) so that games that write their save files to the current
working directory will have their save files saved to the libretro save
directory instead of the game directory.
For security and portability reasons, nothing outside of the libretro
save directory can be written to, and nothing outside of the libretro
save directory, the libretro game directory and the various embedded
files used by the runtime can be read from.
This allows more flexibility when loading games in libretro builds,
since we can now load games either from a directory or from a ZIP or 7Z
archive. Also, the path cache is now active for all filesystem calls
made from inside Ruby.
