Abdessamad Derraz 801a0150e6 feat: run the handheld launchers in the tui
The PortMaster port now starts install.py --tui on the console (or in
foot or xterm under a compositor), with gptokeyb in kill mode on the
installer's path, retrobios.gptk, TERM=linux and a Terminus font, and
puts the console, font and mapper back on exit. pugwash screens stay as
the fallback where no terminal can show, and start in no-check mode so
PortMaster's A/B fix applies. Without a network, every launcher installs
from a pack found on the card or names the pack and the folder.

Adds launchers for Batocera and Knulli (Ports, evmapy .keys), muOS
(.muxapp in muxterm with gptokeyb2) and the Tools menu of ArkOS,
dArkOS, ROCKNIX, JELOS and AmberELEC, built by build_port.py with the
pinned installer and tested on a simulated device.

RetroBIOS in the Tools menu

Copy RetroBIOS.sh and the retrobios folder next to the other tools:

System Folder Menu
ArkOS, dArkOS tools on the EASYROMS partition (/roms/tools) Options, Tools
ROCKNIX, JELOS /storage/.config/modules Tools
AmberELEC /storage/.config/distribution/modules Tools

It checks the BIOS folder against the files its emulators read and installs the missing ones: downloaded with a network connection, or from a pack copied into the retrobios folder without one.

Controls: D-pad to move, A or Start to choose, B or Select to go back, X to tick a system, Y for the options, L1 and R1 to page, Start + Select to quit.

ArkOS has Python 3.7, older than the installer needs: RetroBIOS uses the Python runtime the RetroBIOS PortMaster port downloads, so start that port once first.
