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 VB is a port of Mednafen's Virtual Boy emulation module to
libretro. Based on Mednafen v0.9.36.1.
No external BIOS or firmware files are required. The Virtual Boy
hardware did not use a traditional boot ROM or BIOS in the way
that consoles like PlayStation or Saturn do. The V810 CPU starts
execution directly from the game ROM mapped at 0x07000000.
The core loads the ROM into GPROM (Game Pak ROM), mirrors it if
smaller than 64KB, and initializes 64KB of WRAM and optional
GPRAM (Game Pak RAM/SRAM for saves). The VIP (Virtual Image
Processor), VSU (Virtual Sound Unit), and hardware timer are all
emulated in software with no firmware dependencies.
The libretro .info file (mednafen_vb_libretro.info) declares no
firmware entries and no system files.
ROM extensions: .vb, .vboy, .bin
