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.

notes: |
Based on multiple snes9x forks (uosnes, snes9x2005), optimized for slow hardware.
All coprocessor data (DSP1-4, CX4, SuperFX, SA-1, SPC7110, OBC1) is HLE with
embedded ROM tables. No external coprocessor firmware needed.
BS-X BIOS loading controlled by core option chimerasnes_bsx_bios (default: skip).
retro_load_game_special() returns false (no subsystem support).
.info firmware_count absent (= 0), under-declares: code loads 2 files.

validation: [size]
note: |
Loaded by BSX_LoadBIOS() from system_dir when core option
chimerasnes_bsx_bios is set to 'load' (default: skip).
Tries BS-X.bin first, then BS-X.bios as fallback.
Size must be BIOS_SIZE (0x100000). Many BS-X games run without it.

note: |
Loaded by LoadSFTBIOS() from system_dir when Sufami Turbo game
detected (BANDAI SFC-ADX header at ROM offset 0, memmap.c:833).
Reads 0x40000 bytes into Memory.ROM. No validation performed.
