Abdessamad Derraz d678e6acfa fix: declare the FreeIntv overlays on the core
FreeIntv declared no data tree while its alias freeintv_ts_overlay,
the same code, declared freeintv_overlays. The core reads
freeintv_overlays/<rom>.png only with the multi-screen option and draws
its embedded keypad image without one (src/libretro.c:278-280, 294,
321-325), so the tree is optional. A test holds every alias to the trees
of its core.

Written for libretro by David Richardson. Intellivoice SP0256 emulation
contributed by Joe Zbiciak (jzIntv), mask ROM embedded in source
(src/ivoice.c:337-510, 4097-byte static array). No external ivoice ROM.
BIOS loading in retro_init() (src/libretro.c:1175-1183). Paths joined
directly to system directory, no subdirectory.
loadExec() reads exec.bin as big-endian 16-bit words into 0x1000-0x1FFF.
loadGrom() reads grom.bin as raw bytes into 0x3000-0x37FF.
Both files required for operation. Without them, the OSD shows
"PUT GROM/EXEC IN SYSTEM DIRECTORY" and games do not run.
No hash or size validation on either file.
No ECS support. No ecs.bin loading code in the source.
Per-game controller overlays are read from freeintv_overlays/<rom>.png
(or .jpg) in the system directory, only when the multi-screen option is
on (src/libretro.c:278-280, 294). Without one the core draws the keypad
image embedded in the binary (src/libretro.c:321-325).
