Angry Birds Decompilation: Lua script recovery

Angry Birds Decompilation documents recovery of Lua scripts from the PC ports of the Angry Birds games. The README's automatic path runs birdout.py with Python 3, 7-Zip, and a JDK, and the manual path uses OpenSSL, 7-Zip, and unluac. It points readers to their own PC-port files.
