[Feature request] Add recently opened files to FILE menu

Add a list of recently opened files to FILE menu? Latest 5 or so? It would be really handy. That's all! 🤓

I agree! Plus, I've already implemented such a feature in my fork of bsnes-classic (see screenshot below), so it should be relatively simple to incorporate. Technical details follow.

The Context_Menu class will have to be improved to allow nested navigation, so it can behave like the following:

Personally I find it even easier when recent file list appears on the 1st dropdown menu, not nested in a 2nd one, as its a bit fiddely (especially if you're drunk). So in your screenshot, they would appear in the 1st menu underneath the line "Controller Port 2", with a heading "Recent files".

But either way, it would be fab. Just giving my 2 cents.

Haha, right. Well that is convenient for me because it would be easier to implement them on the same drop-down. So that makes it easier, thanks!

I'm suggesting to myself how to display the filepath without showing the whole path. This was good inspiration:

Note in particular how the app handles identical file names but in different folders. It is displayed in a tidy manner.
