core: Add Core.prepare()

Allows to prepare standalone Libretro cores by replacing the calls to
load_game() by calls to prepare() as standalone games don't have a game
to load but nonetheless require retro_load_game() to be called.

retro: Add RetroRunner.for_core_descriptor()

Allow to contruct a RetroRunner from a Retro.CoreDescriptor. Also adapt
other functions like prepare_core() so they can work with no
RetroCoreSource nor platform.

This will be used in the next commit to run standalone Libretro cores.
