Abdessamad Derraz 316d2467eb refactor: replace emulator extras with cross-reference discovery
_collect_emulator_extras() now uses find_undeclared_files() from
verify.py instead of manual emulator name lists. This gives:
- System-overlap matching (automatic, no manual config needed)
- mode: standalone filtering (no standalone files in libretro packs)
- type: launcher filtering (no launcher BIOS in system_dir)
- data_directories coverage (no false gaps)
- hle_fallback propagation
- Works for ANY platform (same logic for RetroArch, Batocera, etc.)

RetroArch --include-extras now discovers 91 extra files from
emulator profiles automatically.
