Quick Menu doesn't show when core is loaded but no game running

Description

Quick Menu doesn't show when core is loaded with no game running. It only shows after loading a game. The issue with this is that it's the only way to access Core Options. This can lead to a situation where the core is unable to boot a game due to bad option settings, and it's impossible to change the options without booting a game. So the only way to fix it is to close RetroArch and delve into the text files.

Expected behavior

When a core is loaded, the Quick Menu option appears in the main menu.

Actual behavior

When a core is loaded, the Quick Menu does not show up. Only after loading a game does the Quick Menu appear.

Bisect Results

This has always been the case, to my knowledge.

Version/Commit

RetroArch: 1.9.0

Environment information

Windows 10

Reproduce the issue by loading a core in RetroArch without loading a game, then inspect the main-menu handling for the Quick Menu visibility state. Done means Quick Menu appears after a core is loaded and remains usable for changing Core Options before a game starts.
