[develop] Add inital datel cheat support from filesystem (#204) 
## Description
This pull request adds a file parser for cheat code support.
If a file named the same as the selected rom with the extension .cht is
found, it will attempt to parse the file for cheat codes and place them
in `menu->boot_params->cheat_list` per the cheat backend API.

Cheat files should be formatted this way:
```
# Super mario 64 infinite lives
8033B21D 0064

# 120 stars
80207723 0001
8020770B 00C7
50001101 0000
8020770C 00FF
```

The parser ignores lines that start with a '#', are under 12 characters
or over 15 characters. Every other line should be valid cheat code
inputs with the code on the left, and the value on the right separated
by a space.

## Motivation and Context
<!--- What does this sample do? What problem does it solve? -->
Adds some initial cheat support in the frontend to allow users to modify
their games more easily, and take advantage of the backend API.

## How Has This Been Tested?
Tested on real hardware with a Summercart64 and Super Mario 64.
