Log Message:
Updated mame to 0.173.

It's the end of another month, and time for a new MAME release.
This time there are more improvements for capabilities we have added
in previous versions.

MAME now includes ports of some popular shaders for the BGFX renderer,
including the EAGLE, HQx and xBR scaling effects. Please be aware
that the BGFX renderer is still a work in progress, and you may
experience some stability issues when using it.

This release introduces a new cheat engine based on the Lua scripting
language. This opens the door to exciting new possibilities. One
of the most significant improvements is better support for systems
with banked memory, including many 8-bit home computers like the
Apple II family.

MAME's archive file handling has been improved in a number of ways.
ZIP64 format is now supported, allowing MAME to archives over 4GiB
in size. This mean that, for example, large flyer collections don't
need to be unzipped for use with the internal UI. 7zip support has
been updated for the latest 7zip release, including new archive
features and many bug fixes. We've also fixed a number of bugs in
the internal file browser.

Of course this release also includes many other improvements from
the MAME team and external contributors.
