v0.5r990

A reload stub enabling homebrew applications to return to Swiss has been added.
While this depend on a libOGC patch that may never make it upstream due to a rift with @devkitPro, the stub offer backwards compatibility with the older standard set by PSO/SDload. As such, many popular applications are supported today.

This feature require a copy of DOL/swiss_r990-compressed.dol on an SD card under one of the following file paths:

/autoexec.dol
/boot.dol
/boot2.dol
/igr.dol
/ipl.dol

Issues with SD cards being unreliably detected, particularly after in-game reset, should now be fixed.

Fastboot has been removed from ISO/*. GC Loader users may use these instead of GCLoader/boot.iso to see the boot animation before booting Swiss, rather than only before booting games (with boot through IPL enabled).

Fastboot may also be cancelled by holding the A Button so that the GameCube Main Menu can be accessed on power on.
