Automatic Save States with Thumbnails Enabled is Inconsistent. #4908

Description

When you have both auto save states and save state thumbnails enabled, RetroArch will sometimes close before being able to take a picture for the thumbnail. It works more often than not. Assuming the emulator waits for a save state to be created before exiting, this should be able to be fixed by applying those same conditions but for the thumbnail as well.

Expected behavior

When exiting the emulator, there should be two files: .state.auto and .state.auto.png.

Actual behavior

It normally works as expected, but it occasionally does not take a screenshot before exiting.

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Set savestate_auto_save = "true" and "savestate_thumbnail_enable = "true" in the RetroArch config.
  2. Open a game.
  3. Close the game. Normally, you will have both the save state and the screenshot. Occasionally, you will end up with just the save state and without a screenshot.
