Abdessamad Derraz 58f3006d20 docs: add core_version, display_name to all 260 emulator profiles
Every profile now has:
- profiled_date: date of source code analysis
- core_version: version from libretro-core-info .info files
- display_name: human-readable name from .info files

260/260 profiles complete. 294/294 libretro cores covered.
Standalone emulators (cemu, rpcs3, xemu, vita3k) versioned manually.

notes: |
Beetle PC-FX is the libretro port of Mednafen's NEC PC-FX emulation module.
The core requires a single BIOS file: pcfx.rom (1 MB). The setting
"pcfx.bios" resolves to the filename "pcfx.rom" via MDFN_GetSettingS()
in mednafen/settings.c:92-93. The file is loaded from the libretro
system directory in LoadCommon() (libretro.cpp:367-394).
The BIOS is mapped at address 0xFFF00000 and must be exactly 1048576 bytes
(1024 * 1024). LoadCommon() returns false if the file is missing or the
wrong size, so the core will not start without it.
No other firmware files (fx-scsi.rom, pcfxga.rom, pcfxv101.bin) are
referenced by this core. Those exist for other PC-FX emulators or
alternate BIOS versions but are unused here.
BIOS loading: libretro.cpp LoadCommon() lines 364-397.
Setting resolution: mednafen/settings.c MDFN_GetSettingS() lines 90-94.
BIOS memory: static uint8 *BIOSROM, mapped at 0xFFF00000 (1 MB region).
