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).

Panda3DS is an HLE 3DS emulator. Most games run without any system files.
Encrypted ROMs need AES keys in sysdata/aes_keys.txt, and seed-encrypted
titles (9.6+) also need sysdata/seeddb.bin.
DSP firmware is loaded from the game itself (not from disk), with HLE/LLE/Null
modes selectable via core option panda3ds_dsp_emulation.
System archives (shared font, bad word list, country list, mii data) are
compiled into the binary from citra_system_archives headers.
The libretro core does NOT use RetroArch's system directory. It stores data
under the save directory in "Emulator Files/sysdata/".
The .info file declares no firmware entries, so RetroArch will not check
for any system files.
Experimental core: is_experimental = true in the .info file.

Loaded at ROM load time from appDataRoot/sysdata/aes_keys.txt.
In libretro mode, appDataRoot = <save_dir>/Emulator Files/.
Contains key slot entries like "generator=XXXX", keyX/keyY values.
Only needed for encrypted .3ds/.cci/.cxi/.app files.
Decrypted dumps work without this file.

notes: |
Required for titles using seed encryption (firmware 9.6+).
Must be placed alongside aes_keys.txt in the sysdata directory.
Without it, seed-encrypted titles will fail to load with a warning.
