This picks up from where https://github.com/lephilousophe/scummvm/tree/riscos37 left off, and allows builds with dynamic plugins enabled to run on 26-bit versions of RISC OS. Compared to that branch, the RMA fallback has been dropped for simplicity, and dynamic detection has been disabled since it's currently not possible to unload it while engines are running.

Thanks to @lephilousophe for doing the initial work on this.

LGTM.

Are you sure you want to drop the DA part?
IIRC, I needed it for AGS engine.

Since there's the issue of fragmenting the RMA and not freeing memory properly after a crash, I felt it was better to leave it out for now. I suspect that AGS is too demanding for the RiscPC anyway, so that shouldn't be too big an issue.
