Correct the file format spec to match reality and conf.c

The format of the file is fairly simple. Its size is 0x4000, and tt contains a header that reads "SCv0", followed by the number of settings in the file (u16), and then a list of offsets of each setting (u16). Each setting contains first a type identifier (u8), then a name (char*), and a value (varies, based on type). libogc/marcan's conf.c contains code to parse this information.

The format of the file is fairly simple. Its size is 0x4000, and it contains a header that reads "SCv0", followed by the number of settings in the file (be u16), and then a list of offsets of each setting (be u16). Each setting contains first a u8, specifying the type of the value, and the length of the name.  The low-order 5 bits specify the length of the name, minus one.  The high-order three bits specify the type of the value, as given by the table below.  This is followed by a name, in ASCII, then a value.  In the case of a BIGARRAY, the value begins with a be u16 specifying the length of the data, in bytes, which follows.   In the case of a SMALLARRAY, the value begins with a u8 specifying the length.
    
Conventions for adding or removing settings to the file are currently unknown, but shouldn't be too hard to determine--although that's not necessarily a useful function.
