Abdessamad Derraz 9648b9fc3b feat: read elec ports and per-system cores
EmuELEC's ports system has one emulator, `ports`, the dispatch to a
script ports.yaml generates. The scraper now reads each port's engine
(the libretro core handed to emuelecRunEmu.sh with -C, else port_exe),
so devilutionx, sonic2013, soniccd, sonic-mania, reminiscence and
rigelengine are examined. Standalone emulators keep the spelling the
launch code dispatches on instead of invented lowercase forms, and
media players and runtimes go to the overrides' remove_cores.

Each system of the AmberELEC, EmuELEC and KNULLI lists now carries the
cores its ES list offers it, in menu order, under `cores:`.

"""The emulators an EmulationStation system list offers, by system.
AmberELEC writes its list as es_systems.cfg XML, EmuELEC as an es_systems.json
it turns into that XML at build time. Both name, per system and in the order
the menu shows them, the emulators a user may pick and the cores under each.
Some emulators are libretro front ends (RetroArch, retrorun) whose cores are
libretro core names. Every other emulator is a standalone program, named as
the OS's launch code dispatches on it (`HATARISA`, `PPSSPPSDL`): profiles
answer to that spelling in their `cores:`.
