* Promote Famicom Yarou Vol.1 to partially supported.
Shooting Gallery (shootgal)'s default PORT_CROSSHAIR values are reverse and unscaled against the game's screen resolution.
The game does not offer a calibration option, but the test mode that comes up after a few seconds upon setting the DIP switch shows the internal crosshair for adjusting the gun.
The new offsets are manually determined. They are visual cues for the MAME users only and are unrelated to the game's operation.

Note that I have also added a reason why Cobra is not supported which was pointed out in PR#8689.
* Restricted Linux CI build to only run on changes to code,
translations, software lists, and build scripts.
* Restricted Windows/macOS CO to only run on changes to code and build
scripts. They provide nothing over Linux for the other stuff.
* Added plugin properties and controller file validation to the "hash"
workflow.
* Added a workflow for building documentation, so pull requests that
affect documentation will at least get a basic check in advance.
-plugins/autofire: Bumped version as configuration format has changed.
* autofire, inputmacro: Made left/right repeat when held (makes setting
long delays/durations easier).
* autofire, inputmacro: Added headings for devices in input selection
menus (helps when controller buttons have identical names, e.g. AES)
* autofire: Made intial selection when moving between menus intuitive,
log some errors on saving/loading configuration.
* autofire: Fixed two errors in Chinese localisations.

Note that the existing entry for "Stallone: Cobra" has been renamed to "Cobra" to reflect the title change that occurred from C64 Ultimate Tape Archive V1 to C64 Ultimate Tape Archive V2. I have also demoted this entry to not working status as the game crashes as soon as it loads but surprisingly the original Ocean release (added on this PR) with different tape loading software works OK.
Make it possible for a plugin to specify which item should be selected
on repopulate. Also allowed plugins to specify the UI heading flag for
menu items.
Updated input macro plugin to select sane items when changing menus.
Other plugins not updated yet, but may be at some point in the future.
-plugins: Sort input selection menus for autofire plugin.
-frontend: Fixed another case where the menus may not automatically
scroll the first item into view.
