Description

Add a way to verify disc dumps against the Redump database, such as a button or menu option somewhere that calculates the hashes for the entire collection of BIN/CUE files.

Should be done manually since it requires reading the entire files.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the emulator's UI code to identify where to add a button or menu option. Then implement functionality to iterate over BIN/CUE files, read them, compute hashes (e.g., SHA1, MD5), and compare against Redump database. Look at existing hashing utilities in the codebase if any.
