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: |
ProSystem is an Atari 7800 emulator ported to libretro.
BIOS loading is in core/libretro.c:579-588. Region is read from the
cartridge header byte 57 (core/Cartridge.c:214) or overridden by the
internal database (core/Database.c). PAL carts get the (E) BIOS,
everything else gets (U).
Both BIOS files are optional. The core runs games without them, but
some titles may have compatibility issues without the real BIOS
(startup encryption check, etc). bios_Store() maps the BIOS data
into the top of the 64K address space (65536 - bios_size).
No core option controls BIOS loading -- if the file exists in the
system directory, it is loaded automatically.

source_ref: "core/Bios.c:88"
notes: |
bios_Store() writes the BIOS into ROM at address (65536 - bios_size).
The BIOS size is read dynamically from the file, not hardcoded.
bios_enabled flag is set only if bios_Load() succeeds (file found
and read without error).
region_detection:
source_ref: "core/Cartridge.c:214, core/Database.c"
notes: |
Region byte is at offset 57 in the A7800 cartridge header.
The internal database (Database.c) can override the header value.
REGION_NTSC = 0, REGION_PAL = 1 (defined in Region.h).
