Patch for pcsxr

Even if the fork recieved a bit more development it's abandoned and not considered very good by today's standards. Redirect users to RetroArch and possibly consider porting DuckStation (https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation) if there's interest for a standalone emulator.

Hello Daniel,

Right, it is unmaintained and quite old... but it still works.

Anyway, if you feel it's innapropriate to keep it in the tree, I see no objection deprecating it. Porting Duckstation to replace it as a standalone emulator could be a good idea indeed :)

Cheers,

Ganael.

    emulators/pcsxr: Deprecate and set expiration date to 2023-03-31

    Abandoned upstream and not up to standard compared to other emulators so
    point users to RetroArch.

Hello Daniel,

As a followup to that PR, just a few words to tell you I've just committed a port of Duckstation to replace pcsxr, see:
