Abdessamad Derraz d55a43bd68 feat: name elec and knulli builds in profiles
EmuELEC, AmberELEC and KNULLI launch standalone emulators by the name
their launch code dispatches on (HATARISA, PPSSPPSDL, FBNEOSA) and ship
32-bit or patched builds of libretro cores under their own .so names
(flycast_32b, mupen64plus_next_alt, genesis_plus_gx_cart_special,
mame0139, flycast-xtreme). Each name joins the profile of the project
its package builds. fceumm_mod reads gg.rom, not gamegenie.nes, and
never opens it, so it gets its own profile.

Terry Cavanagh's VVVVVV game, desktop build. The source release holds
the engine, the level data, the language files and the fonts. Graphics,
music and sounds are in data.zip, which is not in the repository.
FILESYSTEM_init() mounts data.zip from the -assets argument, or from
the binary's directory when no argument is given, and exits with a
"data.zip missing!" message box when the mount fails
(ref: desktop_version/src/FileSystemUtils.cpp:318-346). Recalbox
passes -assets /recalbox/share/roms/ports/vvvvvv/data.zip. The game
accepts the data.zip of the retail release or of the free Make and
Play Edition (ref: desktop_version/src/FileSystemUtils.cpp:332-335).
The lang/ and fonts/ directories are mounted ahead of data.zip from
the binary's directory (ref: desktop_version/src/FileSystemUtils.cpp:81-177,
312-315). Recalbox installs them from the source tree beside the
binary. gamecontrollerdb.txt is read from the binary's directory when
present (ref: desktop_version/src/FileSystemUtils.cpp:349-353).
