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: >
Region-based BIOS selection: the core picks JP/NA/EU firmware based on disc region.
SHA1 validated with warning on mismatch (does not block loading).
SHA1 and alternate filenames sourced from MAME psx.cpp (libretro.cpp:184).
Override option allows using PSP or PS3 extracted PS1 BIOS as region-free alternative.
"Skip BIOS" option patches BIOS ROM but causes compatibility issues.
Upstream Mednafen loads the same 3 region BIOS; override BIOS are libretro additions.
