Updated DOSBox Pure core for Garlic OS

There was a Reddit post about an issue in the DOS game Prince of Persia 2, hence I decided to compile a fresh version of the DOSBox Pure core. Here are the results:
1.  Prince Of Persia 2 is working
2. Performance is better
For the performance comparison, I used a couple of apps from DOS Benchmark Pack - PC Player Benchmark (P) and Landmark System Speed Test (L):
 - Old core: P - 14.6 score, L - 95MHz CPU / 455MHz FPU
 - New core: P - 21.7 score, L - 99MHz CPU / 472MHz FPU
Here are my settings for the benchmarks: overclock++, Threaded Video is ON, Image Interpolation = Bilinear, Power Management profile = Maximum Performance (locks CPU at 1.5GHz for benchmarking, only for tests, leave it at Balanced for games)

Known issues of Dual System firmware:
Games that have spaces in their name, cannot be opened.
Here are a couple of solutions (choose one):
- Open /CFW/config/coremapping.json on 1st sdcard in any text editor and replace /mnt/mmc/Roms/APPS/Mod/Emu/dos/launch.sh with dosbox_pure_libretro.so
- Open /Roms/APPS/Mod/Emu/dos/launch.sh on 1st sdcard in any text editor and wrap $1 with double quotes, "$1"
- Rename the roms and replace spaces with underscores (e.g. "Battle Chess.zip" => "Battle_Chess.zip")
