Validate ROM XML with option to repair / update #337

@intvsteve

Description

@intvsteve

Create a utility to inspect ROM XML to verify ROM paths and CRCs of ROMs.

There is already basic existence / modification checking. However, there are circumstances that can cause 'drift' between what is stored in ROMs.xml and what is on disk:

  • ROM is part of an active development project, changing with rebuild
  • ROMs.xml was manually edited (maliciously or by accident)
  • A .bin-format ROM's .cfg file changed in some way

Ergo - the ability to analyze and repair discrepancies would be useful, if only to turn off the warnings in the ROMs list about changes to the ROM(s) having occurred.
