snes9x_next: only enable multitap if there at least 3 controllers connected

Hi all,
Great job you are doing with Batocera linux. I started with Recalbox then I discovered this fork project. I appreciate the job done by the original Recalbox developers and also I understand the raison d'etre of Batocera.
I don't know what is the state of affairs with Recalbox, but it is possible to integrate in Batocera the following feature from it?

https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox-configgen/commit/5c7eb3c72a5a61b555af3e381eb3573968b7cd7f

This is specially useful for SNES games that detects multitap and don't start with it. Kirby's Dreamland 3 is a good example. This is why the Recabox guys made this patch.

Thanks again for Batocera and the philosophy behind your fork, I'm following it closely together with Recalbox. I hope one day both projects can end in a unified system and everybody is happy with each other's contributions.

done. thanks a lot.
unfortunatly, i don't think that project would merge one day.
personnally, i consider recalbox as a dead project. the new version 4.1 is mainly the work i've done (odroid, x86, wii, gamecube, external usb key, etc...) and was already available in batocera in the first version 1 year ago.

thanks @nadenislamarre for the multitap enhancement, much appreciated !
About merging the projects, I understand. I also didn't know most of those newbies in 4.1 were your work.
That explains why Batocera felt so up-to-date (but more polished) compared to Recalbox 4.1 when I switched.
I like your approach to the project so I think I will stay with Batocera and try to help with reporting and suggestions.
Thanks!

Thanks from me as well - I noticed this issue with Yoshis Island too.
