## Description
This pull request adds a file parser for cheat code support.
If a file named the same as the selected rom with the extension .cht is
found, it will attempt to parse the file for cheat codes and place them
in `menu->boot_params->cheat_list` per the cheat backend API.
Cheat files should be formatted this way:
```
# Super mario 64 infinite lives
8033B21D 0064
# 120 stars
80207723 0001
8020770B 00C7
50001101 0000
8020770C 00FF
```
The parser ignores lines that start with a '#', are under 12 characters
or over 15 characters. Every other line should be valid cheat code
inputs with the code on the left, and the value on the right separated
by a space.
## Motivation and Context
<!--- What does this sample do? What problem does it solve? -->
Adds some initial cheat support in the frontend to allow users to modify
their games more easily, and take advantage of the backend API.
## How Has This Been Tested?
Tested on real hardware with a Summercart64 and Super Mario 64.

<!--- Provide a general summary of your changes in the Title above -->
## Description
<!--- Describe your changes in detail -->
Changed the ROM file that provides the "override" settings to be a more
generic file that is able to handle more situations related to the ROM
information.
The file can now contain the ROM description, and also contains whether
the ROM enables GS and patch support (for future use).
To use it, a "group name" needs adding to the ROM specific `ini`:
```
[metadata]
desscription=This is the description of the ROM I wish to load.
```
which if availiable, is added to the ROM load screen.
NOTE: the underlying file parser only supports `LF` line endings. `CRLF`
line endings will not work.
Old ROM ini files will probably be broken as the `override` parameters
have also been added to a "group name" `[custom_boot]`, so you would
either need to manually adjust the file or re 'set' the overridden
parameters in the menu.
## Motivation and Context
<!--- What does this sample do? What problem does it solve? -->
<!--- If it fixes/closes/resolves an open issue, please link to the
issue here -->
Works towards a "descriptive" ROM load system.

## Description
<!--- Describe your changes in detail -->
This PR merges `develop` and `main` for a tagged release so it can be
used by most users (utilising debug flags where required).
## Release Notes
- **New Features**
- Introduced menu sound effects for enhanced user experience (the
default is off).
- Added N64 ROM autoload functionality, allowing users to set a specific
ROM to load automatically.
- Added menu boot hotkey (hold `start` to return to menu when autoload
is enabled).
- Added context menu and settings management options GUI for managing
various settings in `config.ini`.
- Added functionality for editing the real-time clock (RTC) within the
RTC menu view.
- Improved flashcart info view for showing supported flashcart features
and version.
- Enhanced UI components with new drawing functions and improved
organization.
- Added emulator support for `SMS`, `GG`, and `CHF` ROMs.
- Enhanced joypad input handling for menu actions, improving
responsiveness.
- Optimized boxart image loading from filesystem.
- Improved various text to make the functionality more clear.
- **Bug Fixes**
- Improved error handling in multiple areas, particularly in save
loading and ROM management.
- Enhanced memory management to prevent potential leaks during error
conditions.
- Fixed text flickering in certain circumstances.
- **Documentation**
- Updated README and various documentation files to reflect new features
and usage instructions.
- Added detailed setup instructions for SD cards and menu customization.
- Enhanced clarity in documentation for RTC settings and menu
customization.
- Improved organization and clarity of SD card setup instructions for
various flashcarts.

responsiveness.
- Streamlined the loading state management for ROMs and disks within the
menu system.

documentation files.
### Current known Issues
* The RTC UI requires improvement (awaiting UI developer).
* BETA_SETTING: PAL60 when using HDMI mods has regressed (awaiting
libdragon fix).
* ALPHA_FEATURE: ED64 X Series detection does not occur properly
(however this is not a problem as not tag released asset).
* ALPHA_FEATURE: ED64 V Series only supports loading ROMs (however this
is not a problem as not tag released asset).
* Menu sound FX may not work properly when a 64 Disk Drive is also
attached (work around: turn sound FX off).
### Breaking changes
* Disk drive expansion ROMs are now loaded with `Z|L` instead of `R` to
align with ROM info context menu (and future functionality).
