docs: name the registries behind assets and dedup

Browse Source 
The guides said files over 50 MB become release assets and that RPG Maker and ScummVM were the trees kept out of dedup. .gitignore decides the first, four committed files are over 50 MB, and NODEDUP_DIRS holds eleven trees.

## Large files
Files over 50 MB are stored as assets on the `large-files` GitHub release.
They are listed in `.gitignore` to keep the git repository lightweight.
Files too large for git are stored as assets on the `large-files` GitHub
release. `.gitignore` is the list of them: a `bios/` path listed there is a
release asset, whatever its size, and a committed file is served from the
repository even past 50 MB.
`generate_db.py` downloads them from the release when rebuilding the database,
using `fetch_large_file()` from `common.py`. The same function is used by
`generate_pack.py` when a file has a hash mismatch with the local variant.
