Recently libretro/RetroArch#17142 got merged into RetroArch which adds a new selection at the top of the content browser <Use This Directory> to load the path to the directory itself (not a file) as the content. This was always supported in RetroArch but it was only possible either by manually writing a playlist file or by launching RetroArch with -L "core.so" "/directory/path", but not via the menu. Partially this was because a core couldn't tell the frontend that it supports loading directories. Now with the mentioned PR merged, a core can have "/" in its list of supported extensions to indicate support for loading directories.
This PR adds that entry to the list of supported content paths for cores that I have confirmed to already work directly with a path to a directory and can run games via that.
