fix: add flycast standalone data directory paths

The standalone build reads BIOS files from its data directory root, not from dc/ (core/oslib/oslib.cpp:118-196, core/stdclass.cpp:95-125, core/linux-dist/main.cpp:74-99). Each entry now carries standalone_path.

   Only the Dreamcast reads flat files. The prefix is dc_ for Dreamcast
   (core/hw/flashrom/nvmem.cpp:35-50), and the boot ROM is searched as
   {prefix}boot.bin then {prefix}bios.bin (core/hw/flashrom/nvmem.cpp:304).
