  1. Game Boy: add new BIOS variants and gbplayer (not working GBA clone)

    These files are all floating around the No-Intro sets.
    
    For gbcolor, a Japan-exclusive version of the BIOS is added.  The
    variant of the BIOS from the Game Boy Advance is also included, which
    unlocks features in a few games that use it to detect running on GBA
    hardware.
    
    A beta version of the GBA BIOS has been added, which features a
    different boot up sound and lacks the ability to escape to network
    boot mode (start+select in the released console).
    
    The Game Boy Player has been added as a GBA clone.  At least the BIOS
    checksum is documented here, but it fails to boot in the MAME gba
    driver.

  3. gba: remove gbplayer hack console

    This ROM definition should still be defined as a GameCube accessory,
    but I agree with cuavas: pretending it's a standalone console is the
    wrong way to go about it, especially as there are no practical
    benefits, only a downside (GBA Video titles refuse to play on Game Boy
    Player).
