Abdessamad Derraz e7aa9e870b fix: state libretro core versions from their code
Each libretro profile records version_basis and core_version is read
there at its pin. snes9x states 1.63 in snes9x.h, nestopia 2.0.0, mgba
0.11.0, vice 3.10, atari800's libretro tree 7.0.0. Cores whose build
takes its version from git carry the nearest tag in describe form
(flycast v2.7-90-ge88b0ce, ppsspp, duckstation, gearcoleco), placeholders
copied from .info files (Git, SVN) are replaced by the code's statement,
and a code that states none is null with kind none.

notes: |
Open-source PICO-8 fantasy console reimplementation by Jacopo Santoni.
Runs .p8 and .p8.png cartridge files. The PICO-8 font is compiled into the
binary as a byte array (gen/pico_font.h, loaded in src/vm/gfx.cpp:9). The Lua API
shim is compiled as a string constant (gen/lua_api.h, loaded in
src/vm/lua_bridge.cpp:1126). The core never calls GET_SYSTEM_DIRECTORY and performs
no file I/O from the system directory.
exclusion_note: "all engine resources (font, Lua API, color palette, audio synth) compiled into the binary"
