Huge update.

• Scripting is much more powerful now: command-line arguments, Run() method signature can vary from classic Run(IFamicomDumperConnection dumper) to something like Run(IFamicomDumperConnection dumper, IMapper mapper, int chrSize, string[] args) - required data will be passed automatically.
• Many not so popular features moved to scripts: BatteryTest.cs, PrgRamTest.cs, ChrRamTest.cs, DumpTiles.cs
• Option --mappers to specify mapper scripts directory
• IFamicomDumperConnection extended with new methods: ReadFdsBlocks() and WriteFdsBlocks()

• Added the --battery option to set "battery" flag in ROM header after dumping
• --chr-size can be used with "test-chr-ram-coolgirl" command now to specify CHR RAM size
