SCI: Support playing low-resolution SCI32 games on platforms without highres support

[ccawley2011]

It appears that certain SCI32 games (such as Gabriel Knight 1) support running in low resolution modes, however the SCI32 subengine is marked as a requiring highres support, which prevents those games from running on systems like the Nintendo DS, which lack highres support.

AFAICT it's only three SCI32 games (GK1, PQ4, QFG4) that this applies to. So to me, there's two big questions:

1. Can the (large) SCI32 engine code be reasonably #ifdef'd to remove all of the high-res code? (I may be wrong there -- maybe that's not even necessary)

2. What's the UI for "we support SCI32 but not the SCI32 game you tried to load on a Nintendo DS?" -- is there precedent?

And finally, is all of that worth it to run three games on the remaining platforms that can't do hi-res? (using a comically low definition of "hi-res")

My first instinct is that if this introduces any significant SCI code complexity, uh... sorry Nintendo DS. Nobody should be playing PQ4 in the first place. =)

Nintendo isn't alone in this futile fight. :-) Even if the hires code stayed but there was a config option to force lowres rendering only, it would make a huge difference on the Atari platform (both "freemint" and "atari" backends).
