I updated the source accordingly.

This is still on my todo list ; not sure a converter for really older 
memstate is needed, but at least my goal would be to allow loading older 
version (with a new memstate format) and using sane default values 
allowing to continue even if you load an hatari 2.4 memstate when using 
hatari 2.6 for example.
