bsnes-hd beta 10.6

• The libretro core now re-applies setting overrides whenever settings change.
• The setting override to allow widescreen windowing can now be enabled manually in the libretro core as an option.
• The setting overrides for pixel aspect ratio correction and overscan are available again, only for the libretro core.
• There are new setting overrides for the scale as well as for disabling the sprite limit.
• It is now possible to soft-patch with multiple patches. (like in RetroArch, append "1" to extension of second patch, "2" to third, ...)

• Merged rom-size detection fix from upstream. (fixes some Metroid ROM hacks that would not start)
