So Neo-Geo multi-cart support has finally arrived!

---

-NeoGeo (multi)slot work [S. Smith, David Haywood]
* converted all protection types to be MAME devices
* created cartridge (slot) device types for each type of cartridge
containing the above protection devices
* made the 'neogeo' set emulate a 6-slot MVS system allowing for
multiple cartridges to be mounted, for example
"mame64 neogeo -cart1 mslug -cart2 mslugx -cart3 mslug3"
is the command-line syntax to launch an MVS unit with 3 Metal
Slug games installed.
- many of the hacks / bootlegs won't work in multi-slot setups,
this is true to hardware
- some carts (kof95, kof2002 for example) can block recognition
of carts in higher slots if the NVRAM isn't already initialized.
this appears to be true to original hardware because the kof95h
set fixes this issue, powering off/on the system fixes it.
- sound banking isn't 100% correctly handled so the odd game may
fail with the slot system (trally) but regular loading still
works
- the slot / multislot support makes use of the Software Lists
rather than the internal sets, please ensure the correct softlist
XML file is present in your hash folder

Great Job, Mamedev!
