Asked for from play: the Bandai and CyberConnect2 intro movies should come before the launcher's game selection, as they come before a disc's title.

What changed

• The launcher now plays PSS/LOGO_B.PSS and then PSS/LOGO_C.PSS before it sets up the selector. These are the first two of the title's LOGO_MOVIES, and the port's list is launcher::LOGOS. They come from Outbreak's disc when the build has it, else from the first disc it has.
• As the title plays them. They are silent, one picture every two frames, and the launcher's frame rate is 1 while they play (2 for the selector's stream). Cross, START or circle stops them once twelve pictures are decoded. As ccDecodeMpeg's -1 does in LogoMain, one push ends both logos at once.
• When a movie will not open, it counts as played, as in the title.
• The selector is set up (its stream opened and its sound asked for) only once the logos are over, so nothing of it starts under them.
• The movie player moved. The title's Playing is now in crate::movie, which the session and the launcher share. step_stopped_by takes the stopping buttons; the launcher has no save to read OK and cancel from.

Not showing the logos twice

The chosen part's title would have played Bandai's and CyberConnect2's logos again on its first boot. piney_demo::Config gains logos_played, the port's own field, which the title's first boot puts into m_LogoAct. The launcher's boot passes 2, through Session::after_logos and Options::logos_played, so the title starts at LOGO_H.PSS (the Project .hack logo) and then plays the part's own opening. A soft reset skips the logos as before, and a disc started on its own still plays all four.

Checked

A headless run from the build shows the frames in turn:

• frame 100: the Bandai logo;
• frame 450: CyberConnect2's;
• frame 1200: the selector, its rows at rest;
• a cross at frame 1250 starts Infection at frame 1276, and its title opens on the Project .hack logo (frame 1400).

The piney-game suite (134) and piney-demo's pass.
