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.

notes: >
Libretro port of Mednafen's PCE module (libretro.cpp:30), with SuperGrafx
and CD support. The BIOS is loaded from the system directory at CD-ROM
load time via PCE_LoadCD() in mednafen/pce/pce.cpp:441-460, so HuCard
content runs without it. Core option "pce_cdbios" selects which card image
to use (default: System Card 3). DetectGECD() auto-detects Games Express
discs and switches to the pce.gecdbios setting, fixed to gexpress.pce.
Arcade Card mode (pce_arcadecard option, enabled by default) extends System
Card 3 with extra RAM mapping via the SYSCARD_ARCADE enum.
No hash or size validation on BIOS load: file_open() then HuC_Load() reads
the data directly.
DetectSGXCD() reads sector data to decide SGX mode but uses the same BIOS files.
