fix: read mame hiscore.dat where the cores open it

mame2000 opens hiscore.dat, history.dat and mameinfo.dat from IMAMEBASEPATH, the content directory (src/libretro/fileio.c:1002-1014, libretro.c:1044-1052). mame2014 and mame2015 open hiscore.dat through emu_file with no search path, the working directory (src/emu/hiscore.c:330-337, fileio.c:141-143). With no load_from the entries claimed system/ and the packs shipped files neither core opens there. ANoteOutsideTheSystemDirCarriesLoadFrom holds libretro notes and load_from together.
