Summary 08708: atlantis, atlantis2, bagmanm2, bagmanmc, theend, theends, theendss: Auto-incrementing coin counters on boot
Description When running a game, the coin counter numbers in the machine's cfg file will increase on each start up even though credits are not being added by the user.
Steps To Reproduce 1. Run any of the affected games.
2. Let the game run for a little bit, just don't add any credits.
3. Exit the game, go to your cfg directory and examine the game's cfg file. The coin counter numbers should be at 1 now.
4. Run the same game and repeat step 2.
5. Repeat step 3, and the counters will now be at 2.
Additional Information bagmanm2 and bagmanmc add 2 coins per boot instead of just 1, those are the only 2 that are a little different.

Example theend.cfg after 2 runs, no credits added:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- This file is autogenerated; comments and unknown tags will be stripped -->
<mameconfig version="10">
    <system name="theend">
        <counters>
            <coins index="0" number="2" />
        </counters>
    </system>
</mameconfig>

Example bagmanm2.cfg after 2 runs, no credits added:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- This file is autogenerated; comments and unknown tags will be stripped -->
<mameconfig version="10">
    <system name="bagmanm2">
        <counters>
            <coins index="0" number="4" />
        </counters>
