Abdessamad Derraz a37bf11524 fix: add path fields for correct pack subdirectory placement
Cores that load files from system_dir subdirectories (same_cdi/bios/,
neocd/, cannonball/, Citra/sysdata/, mame2003/, etc.) need path: on
each file entry so cross-reference and pack generation place files at
the correct destination. Also fixes neocd.yml using non-standard dest:
field instead of path:.

notes: |
Frozen snapshot of MAME 0.37b5 via iMAME4All (David Valdeita). Fastest and
least accurate MAME core. Supports ~2000 arcade games from the 0.37b5 ROM set.
BIOS handling follows MAME 0.37b5 conventions. Shared BIOS files are packaged
as parent ROM ZIPs (e.g. neogeo.zip) and placed in the ROM directory alongside
game ROMs. The core searches only the ROM directory for ROMs and BIOS sets.
Samples (per-game WAV files) are loaded from system_dir/mame2000/samples/.
They provide sound effects for certain games and are optional.
hiscore.dat, history.dat and mameinfo.dat are loaded from the ROM directory.
cheat.dat is loaded from system_dir/mame2000/cheat/.
hiscore.dat and cheat.dat are bundled in the core repo (metadata/).
