Complete rewrite of #1147

Beyond its cleaner structure, this revision includes a crucial addition: it explains that while HDMI-CEC Remote Control Pass-Through allows the Arrows, OK, Back, and Exit buttons to work normally in standard apps, they fail inside RetroArch. This clarifies exactly why the workaround is necessary, detailing how to use the TV remote's physical Menu button to escape RetroArch since the standard Exit button does not function within the app.
