ActRaiser: ActRaiser MSU-1

This patch adds support for CD quality audio to ActRaiser using MSU-1 chip invented by byuu. So far, it is only supported and tested on bsnes, higan, Snes9x 1.55 and the SD2SNES flashcart.

If the MSU-1 is not detected, the patch plays the original music, thus the patch works on all emulators (but it is less fun to listen to).

The link to the audio pack is included in the README file. The music re-orchestration is by Abyss Rebirth.
