Add release years for Nintendo DS (new releaseyear dat)

The Nintendo DS platform had no metadat/releaseyear file. This adds one with 45 titles (companion to the genre/developer/publisher/franchise additions in a separate PR).

Each year is matched to the game by the existing no-intro ROM CRC and region-matched to the No-Intro name — (USA) → North American release year, (Europe) → European, and for multi-region dumps like (USA, Australia) the earliest listed region's year — consistent with the releaseyear dats for other platforms.

Sourced from Wikipedia and MobyGames (region-matched).

Creates metadat/releaseyear/Nintendo - Nintendo DS.dat (the platform
had no releaseyear data). 45 titles, matched by existing no-intro ROM
CRC, region-matched to the No-Intro name (earliest region for
multi-region dumps). Sourced from Wikipedia and MobyGames.
