First release under the retrokix name (was gbax).

Highlights

  • NES support via bundled FCEUmm core — the runtime picks a core
    from the ROM extension; retrokix browse shows a per-row console
    badge and merges both libraries.
  • Wikipedia-fame ranking — 10,000+ ROM groups across GBA + NES
    are scored by Wikipedia 12-month pageviews and shown with a 0–5
    star column. Year-of-release category filter rejects franchise hubs
    and shared-name non-games at resolve-time.
  • gbax → retrokix rename — old GitHub URLs auto-redirect; the
    gbax PyPI project is yanked.

Upgrade path

```
pip install retrokix
```

The CLI binary is now `retrokix` (was `gbax`). The env var that
points at a custom libretro core is now `RETROKIX_CORE_PATH` (was
`GBAX_CORE_PATH`).
