This is not really necessary since it can share area with ROM.
Performance impact should be very minimal (haven't noticed it myself)
and could be compensated (even by a positive offset) if we bump the ROM
cache area size.
Tested with several dynarecs.
This removes libco and all the usages of it (+pthreads).
Rewired all dynarecs and interpreter to return after every frame so that
libretro can process events. This required to make dynarec re-entrant.
Dynarecs were updated to check for new frame on every update (IRQ, cycle
exhaustion, I/O write, etc). The performance impact of doing so should
be minimal (and definitely outweight the libco gains). While at it,
fixed small issues to get a bit more perf: arm dynarec was not idling
correctly, mips was using stack when not needed, etc.
Tested on PSP (mips), OGA (armv7), Linux (x86 and interpreter). Not
tested on Android though.
