Abdessamad Derraz e13e8734b9 chore: standardize notes: to note: in file entries
240 file-level entries used notes: instead of the canonical note:
field. verify.py and cross_reference.py only read note:, so these
were silently ignored.

Full HLE of ARM7/ARM9 SWI routines; BIOS files optional for most games.
External BIOS enables SWI-from-BIOS mode. Firmware boot requires both
BIOS files loaded and interpreter mode (JIT incompatible).
No DSi support. Core option: desmume_use_external_bios.
