MAME is able to emulate many of the Psions included in this repository. This change adds a build script (and associated GitHub Actions workflow) which creates and archives a directory structure that can be used with MAME without modification, ensuring that ROMs have the correct names and are in the correct directories. The goal is to make it easier for folks to get started with Psion emulation.

@explit28 Since this is a bit of a shift from my usual commits, I wanted to run this past you and see what you thought. I've been slowly chipping away at trying to make the emulation experience more accessible (see https://jbmorley.co.uk/posts/2025-12-16-december-adventure-day-15/ for a little background), and I think this will help a lot. The Action hasn't run—not sure if that needs enabling on the repository, or if it's simply because this is a PR from my fork.

You don't need these folders, they are clones of psion3mx, so both can be copied to the psion3mx folder.
