Majorly improved performance when fetching Mame names.

After profiling UI filtering and startup I determined that
getCleanMameName was responsible for the incredibly long load times when
loading/filtering Mame ROMS. This function was using a linear search
over a pre-sorted array to find a corresponding Mame ROM Name from the
ROM name. It now uses a binary search which improves UI load/filter
responsiveness by a couple orders of magnitude.

Single core performance on my i7 for 10,000 iterations was 2.01 secs vs
7.77e-4 secs
