Add an "Add a new platform" section to CONTRIBUTING.md (instructions to write a scraper in scripts/scraper/, create platform YAML in platforms/, register in platforms/_registry.yml, and submit a PR) and note contributor crediting. Update README: bump verified files from 7,296 to 7,302, add RomM and RetroDECK contributor credits with PR links, and refresh the auto-generated timestamp. Add sdlpal to the mkdocs.yml navigation.
