This is my third PR with my cabinet changes (see #1982). All my changes are "BSD-3-Clause License".

This PR adds an option to fast forward at startup.
Some games, e.g. defender, has a lengthy power on test sequence.
With this PR it is possible to start the game without throttling and then automatically revert
to normal speed after some time.
The option is called seconds_to_skip with shortcut sts and is used like other configurations in ini-files or on command line like:
mame defender -seconds_to_skip 20

-seconds_to_skip will run game unthrottled for specified number of seconds

I don't think this is something we'd want implemented in this way. This is something that should be done as a lua plugin.
