Burnout 2: static recompilation of the original Xbox game

This is a static recompilation of the original Xbox game Burnout 2: Point of Impact. The Windows build is the main target. Linux, Steam Deck, and macOS builds are described as experimental and still needing gameplay, sound, and performance checks. Release 1.14 adds a camera field-of-view slider, texture-pack installation, and initial scripting.
