Rewind should increment rerecords

[RetroEdit]

Rewind is sort of useful for quickly creating a TAS, but it doesn't increment rerecords when recording a movie. As a user, it would make sense for it to increment when the rewind button is released, but I'm not sure how difficult that is on the backend.

As a workaround, there might be a way to do this with a quick script using callbacks? But, I'm not currently sure whether the scripting API supports this. Done: see below.

On the other hand, maybe I need to just have TAStudio open, which might be another workaround for this issue.

[RetroEdit]

As a temporary workaround, here's a Lua script I cooked up that infers when rewind rerecords happen and differentiates them from standard savestate loading. At least in 2.9.1, it doesn't count rerecords in TAStudio (see below).

Update (28 July 2023): I added the Lua script to my own repo: https://github.com/RetroEdit/retro_tas/blob/main/rewind_rerecords.lua

Additional note (2023-09-14): I recently tested in TAStudio, but recording mode is really janky and unchecks the checkbox when you're rewinding. There might be a way to work around this in my code, but it's not a high priority because recording mode is unfortunately kinda unsafe anyway (#3500).

Is this a duplicate of this issue? #480

Let's keep this separate as the "feature" appears to have been added since.

Okay, good to know.
