Abdessamad Derraz f80dcb6d3c chore: mark three cores as recalbox builds
eightyone, exel-hence and sugarbox2 live in Recalbox's own package repos
and no other platform ships them. eightyone's pin v1.2 is the tag Recalbox
10.1.1 builds while v1.3 is out, so it is held; exel-hence is held on v0.9.
sugarbox2's built tag v1.5 is token-gated and stays on the public v0.9.

Libretro core by Recalbox wrapping Tom1975's SugarboxV2
(CPC 464, 664, 6128, 464+, 6128+ and GX-4000). Recalbox 10.1.1 builds
tag v1.5 from a token-gated copy of this repository, but the public
repository carries v0.9 only, which is the revision read here.
Every ROM is compiled into the core as a zlib stream: OS and BASIC for
each model and language, AMSDOS, the Plus cartridge plus_en.cpr, the
CP/M Plus, FutureOS, SymbOS and utility expansion ROMs, 57 blobs in all
(ref: libretro/RomData.h:1-15).
rom_uncompress() inflates them when the machine is built
(ref: libretro/LibretroCore.cpp:1098-1107) and they are handed to the
memory map directly, never through a path
(ref: libretro/LibretroCore.cpp:1173-1174).
The keyboard map files the engine reads are written from embedded data
into the save directory, only when missing: CONF/KeyboardMaps.ini and
Keyboards/101_keyboard_linux
(ref: libretro/LibretroCore.cpp:1477-1502, 2169-2173).
exclusion_note: "all CPC, Plus and GX-4000 ROMs compiled into the core as zlib blobs, and keyboard maps written by the core into the save directory"
