N64 RetroArch integration for GOG Galaxy 2.0

If you want the integration to work, please read the tutorial!

This integration is still work in progress, but it's core features are working and the worst bugs are removed, so try it out if you'd like to. Thanks to AHCoder for using his PS2 integration as base for this one. Also thanks to several people on the GOG Discord for helping me out with some problems.

Created with the Galaxy API: https://github.com/gogcom/galaxy-integrations-python-api

Working Features:

• Add N64 Roms into the galaxy 2.0 library
• Launch N64 Roms with RetroArch via Galaxy 2.0
• Import RetroArch Playtime
• Use Mupen64Plus_Next or ParaLLEl core, change it in user_config.py

Future Features:

• MacOS Support (help from MacOS Users would be appreciated)
• Add GUI (cef) for better usability
• Add retroachievements via API
• More launch options
• Support for various emulators (might be another repository then)
• Add more platforms supported by RetroArch (if Galaxy should support more than one platform per integration in the future. Currently working on PSX support in other repository, not quite usable right now though)
