systemservice: add an option to report the notice screen as skipped (#1127)

* systemservice: add an option to report the notice screen as skipped

sceSystemServiceGetNoticeScreenSkipFlag always returned false. Return the
new skip_notice_screen option instead. Games that check this flag skip
their boot logo movies when it is set; Marvel's Wolverine, for example,
then does not queue movies/BootSequence/BootSequence.movie.

The option defaults to off, so behaviour is unchanged unless it is
enabled with --skip-notice-screen true or the launcher's "Skip boot
logos" checkbox. The launcher stores it with the other per-game settings,
so it is included in per-game config import and export.
