MAME XML DATs don't parse correctly #456

Discussed in https://github.com/emmercm/igir/discussions/446

Originally posted by **mattieb** June 14, 2023 I have figured out how to use igir with No-Intro DATs and it's perfect. 🤩 It's unclear to me if I can use it with e.g. pleasuredome MAME DATs, or other MAME DATs. Since they list "machine" elements instead of "game", I'm guessing that may be unimplemented? Although igir appears to find all the ROMs inside the MAME ZIPs, all ZIPs end up listed as "UNMATCHED" in the report.

MAME DATs use <machine> instead of <game> for no explainable reason.

They might also use <mame> instead of <datafile> in the official DATs.
