Getting ready for a mame 0.145 upload

Hello Folks

I have updated the copyright file to 0.145 and corrected the name of the
generated tarball for nplayers.

The patches that we have in debian/patches are outdated compared to what
Cesare submitted upstream but I don't see it as a big problem, as they
will be dropped anyway by the next release.

I guess we don't need the sdlmame.preinst anymore, do we still need the
mame.preinst ?

I don't feel very confortable with the kind of code it has like

    upgrade)
        # Sweep out wrong directories /usr/share/*/mame-base/
        if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "0.138u1"; then
            rm -rf /usr/share/games/mame-base/
            rm -rf /usr/share/doc/mame-base/

I would rather have a note in the debian readme about this instead of
sweeping directories silently, and if we keep this kind of code it is
going to be run on every mame install for every version in the future.
