Animal Crossing: Wild World: a native PC port of the decompilation

Animal Crossing: Wild World, native compiles decompiled code from the USA Rev 1 Nintendo DS game into a PC program. A host layer supplies DS hardware services, SDL input, and CPU or WebGPU renderers; this branch changes the source for portability. The byte-matching ROM build is retained at the matching tag.
