Abdessamad Derraz 1b50170922 fix: give MAME and FBNeo data files their system
Entries without a system in multi-system profiles were left unattributed by the truth model, and four System.dat additions left the export. Each system is read from the core's code at its pin. hiscore.dat, cheats and history serve every running machine (mame2000 cpuintrf.c:664-666, mame2003 cpuexec.c:280-282, mame2003_plus cpuexec.c:296-298, fbneo hiscore.cpp:154-161 gated on BDF_HISCORE_SUPPORTED), all arcade in those builds, so arcade. BIOS sets take the id their driver gives in the other MAME profiles, and bctvidbs is barcrest-mpu4 everywhere. Files serving several systems of one build (groovymame data files, raine) keep no system. Core resolution is unchanged on every platform.

notes: |
Raspberry Pi port by Squid of Franxis' MAME4ALL, itself MAME 0.37b5
(readme.txt:5, src/version.cpp:1). RetroPie builds the tree with make,
installs mame, mame.cfg.template, hiscore.dat, cheat.dat, clrmame.dat,
folders/ and skins/ to its own directory, and launches mame with the
game's base name. Its mame.cfg sets rompath to the mame-mame4all and
arcade ROM directories and samplepath to their samples/ folders.
main() moves to the directory holding the binary before anything is
opened, so every relative path below is read from there. mame.cfg comes
from that directory.
ref: src/rpi/rpi.cpp:123-126, src/rpi/config.cpp:93
ROMs and samples are looked up in each rompath or samplepath entry as a
<game>/ folder, then <game>.zip. A clone also searches its parent's set,
and every Neo Geo game names neogeo as parent so that the BIOS does not
have to sit in each archive. rompath defaults to ".;roms", samplepath to
".;samples".
ref: src/rpi/fileio.cpp:349-446, src/common.cpp:140-162, src/rpi/config.cpp:273-274,
src/drivers/neogeo.cpp:4580-4586
hiscore.dat is opened for every game, history.dat and mameinfo.dat when
the game information screen is shown, cheat.dat only with cheat=yes. All
four are opened by bare name from the binary's directory: the cheat
branch builds a path from the cheat directory option and then opens the
bare name instead.

src/usrintrf.cpp:2546, src/mame.cpp:621-623
Paths below are written under mame4all/, which stands for the binary's
directory. clrmame.dat is installed beside them and never opened. The
skins/ bitmaps and folders/Favorites.ini belong to the game list front
end.

Opened from rompath as the parent set. neo-geo.rom, ng-sm1.rom and
ng-sfix.rom are declared in every Neo Geo game through the
NEO_BIOS_SOUND and NEO_SFIX macros, so a game cannot load without
them. The Irritating Maze carries its own im_bios.rom in its set.
