Description
Add a homepage link as an extra key/value pair (that can be presented in the RA UI on its own line) in the core info files such as
# Software Information
display_name = "Atari - Jaguar (Virtual Jaguar)"
...
libretro_homepage = "https://docs.libretro.com/library/virtual_jaguar/"
And if an external homepage is present such as in this request
# Software Information
display_name = "Sega - Saturn (YabaSanshiro)"
...
external_homepage = "http://www.uoyabause.org/"

Research direction
Start with dist/info/virtualjaguar_libretro.info and yabasanshiro_libretro.info to compare the existing metadata keys. Trace how core info values are consumed for display in the RetroArch UI, then define support for the requested homepage values. Done means the new metadata can be represented on its own UI line, including the external homepage example.
