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: |
NooDS includes full HLE BIOS for ARM9, ARM7 and GBA SWI routines, making
all BIOS files optional when direct boot is enabled (default). HLE tables
cover SWI 0x00-0x20 for each processor (hle_bios.cpp:24-62). When BIOS
files are missing, a special opcode (0xFF at offset 3) is written for
interrupt return and the HLE handler is activated (memory.cpp:130-169).
Firmware is auto-generated (128KB non-bootable) if not provided, with
default WiFi config, touch calibration and user settings (spi.cpp:90-160).
Native BIOS+firmware required only for firmware boot (non-direct-boot mode).
ARM9 BIOS read: 0x1000 bytes (4 KB), ARM7 BIOS read: 0x4000 bytes (16 KB),
GBA BIOS read: 0x4000 bytes (16 KB). Firmware bootable threshold: >128 KB
(spi.cpp:87). DSi mode supported but uses same BIOS files.
Config: noods.ini keys bios9Path, bios7Path, firmwarePath, gbaBiosPath.
