Deflate, zlib and gzip streams go through rinflate and rdeflate, zstd
through rzstd, CHD images through rchd, zip archives through
rzip_archive and PNG through rpng. The bundled libraries, their build
glue and the system-library options are gone; adler32 and uncompress
keep zlib's ABI for the prebuilt FFmpeg archives that still call them.
libretro-common is one CMake library that the core, the headless tool
and the unit tests all link.
The reads take shorter paths on the way. CHD decodes straight from the
loader's reads and a range of blocks at a time, and a file read at any
alignment decodes into place; CSO keeps one inflate stream instead of
one per block; a plain ISO serves a file read with one read of its exact
bytes; a stored zip member is read in place and a deflated one through
restart points rather than a copy of the whole image in memory; zip
members decode into the caller's buffer; sequential reads through the
frontend's VFS skip the seek, which also keeps its buffering.
libretro/test reads one image as ISO, CSO, CHD and zip through the block
devices, boots each, and checks the codecs against Python-made vectors;
a CI job runs it.
Common and basis_universal call zstd functions directly but never
declared the dependency after being split into their own
CMakeLists.txt files, relying on directory-scope include_directories()
that no longer reached them. Worked on Linux via system zstd.h, but
broke the Android NDK build which has no such fallback.

gason, vma, cityhash, 7zip (ext/lzma-sdk), basis_universal, pugixml,
kirk (ext/libkirk), sfmt19937, xbrz, and xxhash were each defined with
a small add_library() block directly in the root CMakeLists.txt, even
though ext/CMakeLists.txt already exists and handles every other vendor
library (freetype, imgui, naett, discord-rpc, libchdr, zstd, miniupnp,
armips, glew, snappy, ...) via add_subdirectory(). Gave each one its
own ext/<name>/CMakeLists.txt to match that established pattern; xxhash
stays a loose file pair in ext/ (it never had its own directory) so its
add_library() lives directly in ext/CMakeLists.txt instead.
ext/libkirk/CMakeLists.txt already existed but was dead - nothing
add_subdirectory()'d it, and its source list was stale (missing
amctrl.c/.h, which the live inline definition in root had). Replaced
its contents with the current, correct list instead of leaving two
diverging definitions around.
Dropped several target_include_directories()/include_directories()
calls that came along with these (e.g. cityhash, kirk, xbrz, xxhash,
and the lzma-sdk one for 7zip): traced their actual consumers and found
each library's own sources resolve their sibling headers via the
default same-directory quote-include rule, and every external consumer
already uses the full "ext/<name>/..." path resolved through the global
root include - so these were dead weight regardless of position.
Replaced two single-value alias variables (LIB7ZIP_LIBRARY, always
"7zip"; BASISU_LIBRARIES, always "basis_universal") with their target
names directly in Common/CMakeLists.txt, rather than trying to carry
them across the new add_subdirectory boundary - plain set() variables
don't propagate back up out of a child scope without PARENT_SCOPE, so
keeping them as-was would have silently broken Common's link line.
Verified with a fully clean rebuild (removed build/ entirely), a
HEADLESS=ON UNITTEST=ON build, and a LIBRETRO=ON build.
