Subject: gnu: retroarch: Propagate core assets.

The RetroArch menus will not correctly render without its assets, the
plugins won't be usable without the core info files, and controllers won't be
usable without joypad-autoconfig files.  Hence...

* gnu/packages/emulators.scm (retroarch-minimal): New variable, renamed from
previous retroarch.
(retroarch) [propagated-inputs]: New field.
