Summary

Adds release years to the CPUs and platforms for the strings for the Machine Type selector.

I am working on a video about 86Box and was trying to describe how the Machine Type selection works and I realized this is not particularly newbie friendly. There a few platforms that can be confusing without context (like Super Socket 7 for example). I thought that adding years as a prefix value could be a good reference point for users who don't have familiarity with all of the options.

I discussed this in the Discord server and there seemed to be interest in it so I'm submitting my changes to implement this. It also sounds like there is interest in this being extended to other areas like video cards and motherboards, but I think it is especially important that this be added to the Machine Type option because it is the first and most important thing the user needs to decide on.

I've added my references for the years below, if there are issues with any of them I would be happy to make corrections. I am citing wikipedia, but I wanted to get this done rather than get bogged down in digging through their sources. What I found seems to correlate to other research done by Efflixi on Discord.
