Abdessamad Derraz d2adde9846 feat: update 47 emulator profiles with core_classification and fixes
add core_classification, cores, upstream fields. fix false aliases
(fixnes, fsuae, gearboy, higan_sfc, higan_sfc_balanced, potator,
quicknes). add new profiles (fbneo_neogeo, flycast_gles2,
genesis_plus_gx_wide). remove verbose notes and disclaimers.

notes: |
Gearsystem is a Sega Master System / Game Gear / SG-1000 emulator by
Ignacio Sanchez (drhelius). No BIOS is required for normal operation.
The core supports optional boot ROMs for Master System and Game Gear,
controlled by core options "gearsystem_bios_sms" and "gearsystem_bios_gg"
(both disabled by default). Boot ROMs are loaded in load_bootroms()
from the system directory with fixed filenames.
SG-1000 has no BIOS support. IsBootromEnabled() in Memory.cpp explicitly
returns false when a SG-1000 cartridge is detected.
When enabled, the boot ROM executes as on original hardware, which may
cause invalid ROMs to lock or fail to boot entirely.

notes: |
Boot ROM loaded via LoadBootromSMS() -> LoadBootroom(path, false).
Raw binary read, stored in m_pBootromSMS. Bank count computed as
Pow2Ceil(size / 0x4000). Memory mapping controlled by port 3E bit 3.
gamegear:
bios_filename: "bios.gg"
source_ref: "src/Memory.cpp:230-234"
notes: |
Boot ROM loaded via LoadBootromGG() -> LoadBootroom(path, true).
Raw binary read, stored in m_pBootromGG. Same bank computation.
Supports standard GG BIOS and Majesco 1KB variant.
sg1000:
bios_filename: null
notes: |
No BIOS support. Memory.cpp:291 returns false from IsBootromEnabled()
when IsSG1000() is true.
