Abdessamad Derraz b3b3880c19 chore: say which repository each source_ref cites
Profiles that read two repositories, a libretro port and its upstream,
now prefix each citation with source or upstream, decided by which tree
carries the cited value at its pin. The emulator pages use the word to
tell libretro glue, emulator code as the port carries it, and the
upstream emulator apart.

notes: |
Frozen snapshot of Stella development branch (7.0_pre, copyright 2024).
The .info reports display_version 6.6 which does not match the source
(src/common/Version.hxx defines STELLA_VERSION as "7.0_pre").
The Atari 2600 has no BIOS ROM: TIA, RIOT, and 6507 CPU are fully
emulated in software. The SuperCharger (Starpath) BIOS is emulated via
a built-in dummy ROM (ourDummyROMCode in src/emucore/CartAR.cxx:279). The game
properties database is compiled into DefProps.hxx, and external loading is
disabled in the libretro port (OSystemLIBRETRO returns
CompositeKeyValueRepositoryNoop for the property repository).
The libretro interface does not call RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_SYSTEM_DIRECTORY
and declares no firmware requirements (firmware_count=0 in .info).
KidVid Voice Module audio tapes (7 WAV files) are checked via
FSNode::exists() in baseDir (resolves to content directory in the
libretro port). SoundLIBRETRO does not override playWav()/wavSize()
from the base Sound class, so WAV playback is non-functional. Games
work without WAV files using a timing-based fallback in KidVid::setNextSong().
EEPROM save data for AtariVox and SaveKey peripherals is managed as
NVRAM, not user-supplied.
