added a script that parses out the platforms, scrapers, aliases, file…

…masks from the cpp source to generate a platforms.json for use by people using hte JSON modifications from https://github.com/torresflo/skyscraper-enhanced.git which ill be merging into this repo shortly

 * cover
 * wheel
 * marquee

 #### 'resource' attribute [from v2.7.6] (Optional)
 The resource attribute can be set to one of the following:
 * screenshot
 * cover
 * wheel
 * marquee
+* texture
 
 For instance, if you wish to export a 'marquee' image but want it to make use of the 'wheel' resource instead, you can set ```<output type="marquee" resource="wheel"/>```. It will then export a 'marquee' but use the raw unmanipulated 'wheel' image when doing so. So if your frontend theme, such as some EmulationStation themes, makes use of the 'marquee' artwork, it will then be using the 'wheel' for it. If this attribute is left out, 'resource' will be set to the same as 'type'.

 As Skyscraper was built to be used with RetroPie, the list of supported platforms is largely dictated by their naming scheme and [list of platforms](https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Supported-Systems). Skyscraper will only rarely add platforms that aren't already on that list.
 
 ### Skyscraper currently supports the following platforms (set with '-p PLATFORM'):
-* 3do

 * Amiga (OCS, ECS, AGA, CD32, CDTV)
