1. runcommand: add more parameters for RetroArch …

   Added 2 new parameters for the runtime-generated `retroarch.cfg`:
   
   * `libretro_log_level` will add more debug messages from the libretro core, in addition to the frontend debugging messages.
      Cand be useful to diagnose core issues, since `--verbose` activates just the frontend logging.
   
   * `libretro_directory` is set to the core file folder (i.e. `/opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-<core>`).
      It is used by during netplay, as a client, when RetroArch attempts to re-load the core used during netplay.
      Basically, when connecting to a remote netplay host, RetroArch will try to locate a `core.info` file and then try to re-load the core file. If any of them is missing, the connection fails with "Couldn't find a suitable core or content file".
   
      The netplay issue was reported and diagnosed in RetroPie#3161. Rather than symlink each installed libretro core to `$HOME/.config/retroarch/cores` (the default value for `libretro_directory`), we'll just set it at runtime with the above parameter. We still need to add the `.info` files for the installed cores, but that's a separate patch.
