NANCY: Add nancy6 detection entry

Provided by user ModiTorsen on the bugtracker.
Fixes #15087

[fracturehill]

Thank you for the report, I've added the entry to the detection table; seems to be a bugfix
release.
This is a long shot, but I'd be really interested to see what .cif files are inside the archive. If you know how to compile programs, ​unshield can extract things from InstallShield cabinets like the ones you have on your CD. If not, I'll probably get around to adding an extractor to ScummVM itself at some point...

[ModiTorsen]

I've got unshield, and extracted data1.cab and data2.cab but don't see any .cif files in any of the directories created. Is there somewhere specific I should be looking for? To unshield I used the command

unshield x data1.cab

If I Need to add any modifiers to extract what your looking for let me know.

Yes, that's the correct command; in this case it's most likely that the game files are identical and the InstallShield wizard itself was modified. The .cab files contain both the program payload as well as the installer's data (EULA, other text with translations, promotional images, etc.), and HeR looooved to advertise their other games in the installers :) Thank you for taking the time to check!

For the record, you should also be able to detect the extracted game files for a very slight load speed boost. Also, nancy6 support isn't official yet, but I've played through it successfully and most bugs should be gone; feel free to report anything you might encounter.
