Battlefield: Bad Company — statically recompiling the Xbox 360 game

This recompiles Battlefield: Bad Company for the Xbox 360, USA, title ID 454107F9, to Windows with ReXGlue. The README says 54,126 PowerPC functions are translated to C++23 and the build opens a window. It stops while Frostbite calibrates the disc cache, so the game is not playable yet. The default frame cap is 30 fps.
