Description
If for whatever reason, I switch task to safari then switch back to ScummVM, my game state is lost and it resets back to game launcher.
Would be handy to keep the running game state.

I have now implemented game state save and restore when switching tasks on iOS. This only works with engines that support autosaving and are in a state that can be saved when switching task.
Note that the scumm engine use some custom autosave code and not the generic one. After adding a few layers of hacks to try to make it work, and not quite managing it, I gave up. So game state save will not work with any SCUMM games.
