Future Spy Pinouts

Note: this is adapted from David Holcomb's very thorough Zaxxon pinouts
file.  See game_archive/boardPinots/Zaxxon.pin on wiretap.spies.com
for more info.

Future Spy belongs to the small Zaxxon family of boards (Zaxxon, Super
Zaxxon, and Future Spy) that all run off of the same hardware.  Although
Super Zaxxon requires a small extra soundboard, Future Spy _appears_ to
be nothing more than a straight ROM swap away from an original Zaxxon
board.

There are only 2 small differences between these pinouts and Zaxxon's:
Joystick up & down are swapped
The second button (for dropping bombs) is on pin 14.

Just ought to add my standard disclaimer that, if your ugly woodgrain
Sega cabinet goes up in smoke, it's not my fault!
