core-descriptor: Fix firmware check loop (992 bytes, patch)

Description Alexander Mikhaylenko 2017-10-11 12:25:32 UTC 
Since today, retro-gtk can't find any libretro core that has a firmware section in its descriptor file.

Output when running a PlayStation game:
(gnome-games:2): Retro-DEBUG: Error opening directory '/app/lib/retro-1.0/plugins': No such file or directory

Cores without firmwares (Gambatte, BSNES, DeSmuME, etc) work fine.
