Bug#860427: nestopia; Add metadata for integration with gnome-games-app, gnome-software

[Sérgio Benjamim]

It'll be a package with a bunch of 500-byte files (didn't you need other 
.libretro files to genesis plus gx, snes9x and other cores?).

Example: gnome-apps-core-info, or whatever

Also, there is a repo for all these .libretro files right? It'll be much 
easier updating one package instead lot of core packages. This is why I 
created the libretro-core-info package. The .info files was in the core 
packages in the old retroarch PPA, and it was a nightmare to update them.

Also, gnome complained about lack of standard in the retroarch .info 
files... then in the package field you want to add the .libretro file in 
the core package, when we already have a package with .info files, which 
is retroarch dependency. So standard in the info files, but no standard 
in the packages side? Not nice.
