If game patching is enabled, read a 16-bit value from luma/titles/<titleID>/remaster.bin. Set the game's remaster version to 0 if it is higher than this value. This forces a specific game update to be loaded, if it is present.

While implementing this I noticed that the existing implementation for using an external exheader blocks game updates from being applied; since the exheader is applied to both the base game and update, they'll both have the same remaster version. I'm not familiar enough with the use case for external exheaders to be sure this is a bug, but it seems like something that should at least be documented. |

I did not miss it - I think it looks fine, I'll have another look when I'm closer to making a new release. |

Closes #2159.
I explained the rationale in the linked issue, but to summarize: it is possible for certain games that two copies can be the "most recent version" and nonetheless contain different binaries. I know for sure this affects Tomodachi Life, but it may be an issue for other games as well.
With this feature, modders can target a single version of the game (the most recent downloadable update) that they know is legally accessible to all players.
