Abdessamad Derraz 11da070128 chore: recale the profile refs onto their pins
Upstream moved under 145 profiles: 679 refs shifted and 452 followed a
renamed file, against 6,483 that still anchor where they were written.
The recale rewrites the located ranges only, keeping the annotations and
the sentences that carry them, and 106 pins advance in the same commit
because refs and source_commit name one revision or the profile
describes two at once.

Nothing here was guessed. The 183 refs that are CHANGED, GONE or
AMBIGUOUS are untouched, and the 57 profiles holding them keep their old
pin until someone reads the diff: profile_sync refuses to recale a
profile while any of its refs needs a re-read. trident kept its pin too,
its annotated ref being one the writer will not rewrite.

notes: |
Libretro port of Mednafen's Saturn emulation module, frozen circa v0.9.45.1
(2017) with some later backports. Region auto-detection reads the disc header
and selects the matching BIOS. Manual override via beetle_saturn_region option.
InitCommon() returns false if the BIOS file is missing or not exactly 512 KB.
Both region BIOS files are required for full region coverage.
KOF95 and Ultraman ROM carts are loaded when the cart type is set via core
option or auto-detected from the internal game database.
Upstream Mednafen (1.32.x) has ST-V arcade board support (3 additional BIOS
files) and bootable ROM cart support, both absent from this libretro port.
