Parse the TITLE field from param.sfo.

Add the parsed UTF-8 title to comments as a value for <b>Internal Name</b>:

In the param.sfo example below, the parsed Internal Name would be Deathsmiles I・II

The scope on this is quite large: PS3, PS4, PS5. Have to search ps3_disc.sfb to see if it is a multi-package system, and print internal name for each package. Some param.sfo have multi-lang titles, or titles with newline characters in them.
Is this really data we want collected in redump?
If so, why stop there, can also collect all the other metadata stored in ps3_disc.sfb, param.sfo, etc.

It was determined that the scope for this is too large for MPF to be doing anything automatically. Some entries may warrant the internal name being added (e.g. multi-package discs or it is significantly different to the redump name) but this would be done manually.
