Corrected that gpSP Retroarch core demo does indeed have sound (but it's stuttery/crackly). Added a new FAQ about where to ask questions. Updated the Audacity steps for custom sound creation with some additional detail.

9d7ed94b3b Update README.md
Just removing some formatting from headers; the HTML IDs being generated by the Github theme don't match the format being generated by my IDE for the TOC, breaking the links. This is why we can't have anything nice.

25ce2e3221 Transitioned to shared Javascript library
There was a lot of repeated JS across all my tools (e.g., image conversion, BIOS hash checking, etc.), and so I decided to move all shared code out to its own separate library. This will improve scalability and maintainability at the cost of portability - a fair trade in my opinion.

This work also involved large-scale refactoring of all of the tools. There's no actual functional difference (all the tools should behave exactly the same), bar some UI improvements for the oldest tools as a result of moving to the same codebase used by the more recent tools.

6b91ee4a89 Another default ROMs update
Decided to do a bit of digging into the ROMs with corrupt thumbnails, to see if I could determine it programmatically; turns out yup, they all have thumbnail data that's longer than the 59,904 bytes the format allows for. Updated my WQW-scanning code to find the first offset, and now I flag any ROMs whose thumbnail data is too long.

This change also let me fix up and match a few more ROMs where the WQW zip file is actually fine, but is just at the wrong place in the file.

6f1607056b Updated NES default ROM details
Turns out the SF2000's NES ROMs contain an "iNES" header, which No-Intro doesn't like; stripped the header now, and compared against the "headerless" DAT - thanks to `osaka#9664` for the tip!

Added a new tool, the Generic Image Tool - allows you to convert SF2000 images to PNG, and PNG/JPEG images to SF2000 formats with several options.

Also added a large amount of arcade-specific information thanks to some heroic work by `adcockm#8175`, fixed some typos thanks to `Luke#4448`, and tracked down where an "unused" image was actually being used thanks to `kid_sinn#9691`
