Abdessamad Derraz a8bfadd4c1 feat: list recalbox cores per board
Recalbox builds seven board images with different emulators. The new
target scraper reads each board's defconfig against the package every
system.ini core names. The names that reached no profile are mapped to
the projects Recalbox builds or profiled from their source, and the
mupen64plus video plugins are set aside.

"""Scraper for Recalbox BIOS requirements.
Source: https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/-/raw/master/board/recalbox/fsoverlay/recalbox/share_init/system/.emulationstation/es_bios.xml
Format: XML (es_bios.xml)
Hash: MD5 (multiple valid hashes per entry, comma-separated)
Recalbox verification logic:
- Checks MD5 of file on disk against list of valid hashes
- Multiple MD5s accepted per BIOS (different ROM revisions)
- Alternate file paths (pipe-separated)
- hashMatchMandatory flag: if false, wrong hash = warning (YELLOW) not error (RED)
- ZIP files get composite MD5 calculation
