Abdessamad Derraz 4da8eaa0b1 feat: declare the upstream names of 26 profiles
Each name is attested by a buildbot .info file, a hardware target core
list or an ES-DE find rule. Two of them resolved to no profile at all:
dosbox_staging, declared by Batocera on three targets, and
freeintvtsoverlay, shipped as FreeIntvTSOverlay_libretro.info.

vba_m keeps no cores list: no upstream calls it that. It is a legacy key
folded into vbam, which already carries the buildbot name vba-m.

notes: |
Yuzu is the original standalone Nintendo Switch emulator, created by bunnei (author of Citra).
Legally shut down by Nintendo in March 2024 via lawsuit settlement. Permanently frozen.
dev.keys can be used instead of prod.keys when use_dev_keys is enabled (for Switch dev units).
Firmware (system NCAs) must be installed through Yuzu's UI from a firmware directory.
Required for commercial games. Homebrew (.nro, .nso) can run without keys or firmware.
Community forks: Citron, Suyu, Eden. Original GitHub repos DMCA'd.
