Abdessamad Derraz d929424988 feat: add profiled_date to all YAMLs, create 56 alias profiles
- Added profiled_date field to all 204 existing profiles for update tracking
- Created 56 alias profiles for cores that share BIOS with a parent
  (e.g., mednafen_psx -> beetle_psx, fbalpha2012 -> fbneo)

260 total profiles covering all 294 libretro cores (204 unique + 56 alias).

LowRes NX is a fantasy console simulating an imaginary 8/16-bit handheld.
It runs programs written in a custom BASIC dialect, loaded as .nx files.
The libretro port reads game content entirely through the retro_game_info
data buffer (need_fullpath = false, libretro_main.c:317). The .nx source
code is copied into memory at retro_load_game() (libretro_main.c:490)
and compiled by the built-in interpreter.
The boot intro sequence is compiled from bootIntroSourceCode, a string
constant embedded in boot_intro.c -- not loaded from any external file.
The core never calls RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_SYSTEM_DIRECTORY. There is
no code path that reads any file from the system directory. No BIOS,
firmware, or boot ROM is required.
The virtual machine provides a 160x128 screen, 64 colors, 256 8x8
sprites, 4-channel sound, d-pad + 2 buttons, and a pause button.

.nx files contain LowRes NX BASIC source code as plain text.
The interpreter compiles the source at load time.

The entire LowRes NX runtime (CPU emulation, video chip, audio chip,
BASIC compiler/interpreter, boot intro) is compiled into the core
binary. No external dependencies at runtime. Version 1.2.
