Bjørn Forsman 801cc44765 retroarch: add support for declarative settings
Add a new optional 'settings' attrset to the wrapper derivation, which
gets serialized to a file and passed to RetroArch as --appendconfig= at
runtime. This allows overriding settings from
~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg (which initially gets created as a
dump of all internal retroarch settings -- stateful and messy).
