PCSX2 1.7 Autocomplete Support

PCSX2 1.7 nightly builds have been out for a long while now, and the PCSX2 devs all recommend using 1.7.* instead of 1.6.0 whenever requesting support, advice, or in general usage of the emulator.

This request is to update the list of autocomplete options when adding an emulator to launchbox to include support for PCSX2 1.7. Do note that 1.7 comes in two flavors currently, which have different command line options and functionality: Qt and Wx. As such, I’d suggest replacing the existing PCSX2 option with the following:

PCSX2 1.6 - Use the existing PCSX2 autocomplete options for this. It may also be worth adding --nogui to the default parameters as well, which prevents the PCSX2 main GUI from remaining when closing the emulated game.
PCSX2 1.7 Qt - Using the following default CLI parameters is recommended: -fullscreen -batch -- - Note the -- tag at the end signifies the end of parameters to avoid parsing errors if the rom filename contains spaces or dashes. -batch is the Qt equivalent of --nogui. The single dashes before each parameter is intentional and not a typo.
PCSX2 1.7 Wx - The CLI options available for the Wx build are equivalent to the options for the 1.6 build, so duplicating those default options should be fine.

The wiki has been updated with available CLI options for both the Qt and Wx versions of PCSX2: https://wiki.pcsx2.net/index.php/Command-line_support
