Strider arcade graphic and music fixes

Hack of Strider

Description

This patch fixes the character art borders and how they would bleed over into the other frames of animation.
This also fixes 2 messed up music tracks. The ending music was not pointing to the correct location so it would just default to the level 1 music. The ending music was always there in the roms just not called correctly, it now is. The same goes for the hurry up music. When you let the timer almost run out the music track will switch to a fast pace "time running out" tune now with this fix. The original roms again were pointing to the wrong place and defaulted to level 1 music.
Also the amazon women art was slightly covered up in the final version. The original artwork of the prototype has always been in the roms, just hidden. It is now restored in this fix.

These patches are to be applied to the revision 1 romset as it unfortunately was the most common version found on original USA PCB's. The revision 1 set was missing many music tracks, rev 2 fixed most but not the ending or hurry up music as this patch does.
Revision 1 is the same as the mame STRIDER.ZIP romset. These patches are intended for burning to eprom and put on real hardware but can be run in mame if you repack the strider.zip with the patched files and have it bypass its crc check by running from command line.
IPS files were made with lunarIPS.
Pictures show the various errors fixed. In the zip is a picture of the original soundtrack cd that was printed and released with the prototype artwork still on it that is restored in this patch.
