Bug Description

Impact
======
The Nestopia "libretro core" can't be used in the GNOME Games app without a specially formatted .libretro metadata file.

Test Case
=========
Ensure that /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libretro/nestopia.libretro is installed.

Optional Test Case 2
====================
Visit
https://gitlab.gnome.org/aplazas/retro-test-data/tree/master/testsuite240p

Download 240pee-0.08.2.zip

Save the contained file named 240pee.nes to the root of your home directory.

GNOME Games should be able to open it.

Note that GNOME Games requires tracker to be installed. You must log out and log back in after installing tracker if it was not already installed.

Regression Potential
====================
The only change here is the installation of a file that was accidentally dropped from the .install file in the 1.47-2ubuntu3 update.
