* [specpls3_flop.xml] Added 3 dumps, cleanup
Softlist additions:
- Sol Negro: Both sides of the original Spanish edition, with the disk protection intact (which crashes MAME). Previous entry had been cracked to remove protection. [Fede Jerez]
- Simulation Hits (Spain) : Best available dump of Side B. [Fede Jerez]
- LED Storm Rally 2011: Both sides of the original protected dump (also crashes MAME). [Tom Dalby]
- Manic Pietro [Spectrum Computing]
- Tiki Taca [Spectrum Computing]
Multiple cleanups including removal of empty side labels, useless "offset", changing "Spa" to "Spain", etc.
Ordered all entries alphabetically, now the softlist is way easier to navigate/update and IPF parents are next to their respective clones. As in other softlists, SPS releases are already labeled as such.
Added instructions on loading +3 disks and other observations. Reworded, merged and updated some of the existing comments.
