Add the source code for the codehandler.bin, which is used for Ocarina/Gecko OS codes
0%
Description
In case somebody wants to track down problems with the codehandler, the source will come in handy. Also, it might be required to be done anyways, since the file is taken from Gecko OS, which should be licensed under GPL.
Here's the source code for the code handler:

This also includes the source for other code handlers, which might be added to Dolphin in the future.

The codehandler is not part of Dolphin code and is not compiled in Dolphin builds. There are multiple codehandlers and versions from different authors. We do not want to update the codehandler source in the repository when/if the codehandler is updated. The official codehandler is the one in Gecko OS and is version 1.9.3.1.

What we want to do doesn't matter if either the codehandler is GPL or Dolphin is considered linked to it (probably isn't). I suggest adding a readme containing the version and a link to the source, which would be sufficient to satisfy the GPL and also handy for anyone wondering where this particular version of that crap came from.
