[bug#73522] [PATCH games-team 00/14] Package and use RetroArch assets, plus other improvements.

[Maxim Cournoyer]

Testing RetroArch, I wondered why the UI was so unappealing, with black boxes
where there should have been icons and pixelated text.  It was difficult to
comprehend the interface.

Researching a bit, I've found the 'assets' are actually needed for the various
menu modes of RetroArch to render correctly; I've thus packaged them, and
devised a way to discover them in a way that will be immune to going stale
(RetroArch always saves a configuration file upon exists, and persists any
settings used -- the environment variable mechanism devised thus had to
override a value found in the ~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg file).
