Abdessamad Derraz e7aa9e870b fix: state libretro core versions from their code
Each libretro profile records version_basis and core_version is read
there at its pin. snes9x states 1.63 in snes9x.h, nestopia 2.0.0, mgba
0.11.0, vice 3.10, atari800's libretro tree 7.0.0. Cores whose build
takes its version from git carry the nearest tag in describe form
(flycast v2.7-90-ge88b0ce, ppsspp, duckstation, gearcoleco), placeholders
copied from .info files (Git, SVN) are replaced by the code's statement,
and a code that states none is null with kind none.

Game Boy / Game Boy Color emulator written in Rust by Joao Magalhaes.
Libretro: all boot ROMs compiled into binary as static byte arrays in
src/data.rs. load_boot_static() copies from arrays. No filesystem
access, no RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_SYSTEM_DIRECTORY. No external files.
ref: frontends/libretro/src/core.rs:402 instance.load(true) -> src/gb.rs:1377 -> load_boot_static at src/gb.rs:1414
Standalone (SDL): also defaults to embedded boot ROMs via load(true).
User can override via --boot-rom-path CLI argument with any boot ROM
file (frontends/sdl/src/main.rs:1138-1143). load_boot_file() with hardcoded ./res/boot/*.bin paths exists in
src/gb.rs:1427 but is not called from any frontend.
Boot ROM defaults: DmgBootix (DMG), CgbBoytacean (CGB), both open-source.
