N64hawk

Make jabo the default plugin

• Fix Gui freezes while a game still runs in the background on minimizing then maximizing
  
• Change the expansion slot override notion. If a game in the gamdb has the expansion slot override, override the user´s choice, but don´t change the sync setting (otherwise all games they load afterward will be set to this). In the N64 menu item, show the checked status based on if the core is actively using the expansion slot, not whether the sync setting is set. If the gamedb is overriding the user´s choice make it clear by disabling the menu item. This commit message is longer than the changeset itself.
