Abdessamad Derraz 0401d058a1 feat: add by_sha256 index, fix reporting attribution
generate_db: add by_sha256 index for O(1) variant lookup.
verify: _find_best_variant uses indexed sha256 instead of O(n) scan.
validation: check_file_validation returns (reason, emulators) tuple,
attributing mismatch only to emulators whose check actually failed.
beetle_psx: remove incorrect size field for ps1_rom.bin (code does
not validate size, swanstation is sole size authority).

notes: >
Region-based BIOS selection: the core picks JP/NA/EU firmware based on disc region.
SHA1 validated with warning on mismatch (does not block loading).
SHA1 and alternate filenames sourced from MAME psx.cpp (libretro.cpp:186).
Override option allows using PSP, PS3, or OpenBIOS as region-free alternative.
Embedded OpenBIOS (512KB) compiled into the binary serves as HLE fallback when no BIOS found.
"Skip BIOS" option patches BIOS ROM but causes compatibility issues.
Upstream Mednafen loads the same 3 region BIOS; override BIOS and HLE fallback are libretro additions.
