Abdessamad Derraz 22f1edb7d3 refactor: fold mednafen_pce into beetle_pce
Both profiled libretro/beetle-pce-libretro at b96c11e. mednafen_pce
becomes an alias; beetle_pce takes its pce core name and the RetroPie
name beetle-pce. core_version follows libretro.cpp:30 (v1.29.0).

notes: >
Libretro port of Mednafen's PCE module (libretro.cpp:30), with SuperGrafx
and CD support. The BIOS is loaded from the system directory at CD-ROM
load time via PCE_LoadCD() in mednafen/pce/pce.cpp:441-460, so HuCard
content runs without it. Core option "pce_cdbios" selects which card image
to use (default: System Card 3). DetectGECD() auto-detects Games Express
discs and switches to the pce.gecdbios setting, fixed to gexpress.pce.
Arcade Card mode (pce_arcadecard option, enabled by default) extends System
Card 3 with extra RAM mapping via the SYSCARD_ARCADE enum.
No hash or size validation on BIOS load: file_open() then HuC_Load() reads
the data directly.
DetectSGXCD() reads sector data to decide SGX mode but uses the same BIOS files.
