Added support for default NVRAM in MCCS1850. [Curt Coder]

Various Irem M92 / M107 fixes [Alex Jackson]
* Hooked up sound CPU interrupts properly, using the V35 builtin interrupt controller, rather than generating the vectors in the driver.
* Cleaned up ROM mirroring, using AM_REGION macros in the address maps instead of memcpy()ing all over the place in the DRIVER_INITs.
* Converted bankswitching to use configured banks. Only configure the banks and install the bankswitch WRITE_HANDLER in the games that actually use it (i.e. those with a full megabyte of program ROM). This and the previous change make the drivers a lot less confusing to look at... I hope.
* Converted both drivers to use a scanline timer device instead of a hand-rolled one.
* Added save state support to m92.c. Everything necessary was already saved, I just had to add the tag. However, presumably due to the core emu_timer breakage (MT 4330, 4331) the save states don't actually work at the moment. I've already reported this as MT #4333
* Added GAME_MECHANICAL tag to wpksoc and clone

Converted Ginga Ninkyouden to use proper 6840 PTM device [Angelo Salese]
