dantes-inferno-nx: porting Dante's Inferno to Nintendo Switch

dantes-inferno-nx statically recompiles Dante's Inferno Xbox 360 PowerPC code to C++ for a Nintendo Switch homebrew build. Its Switch runtime renders through deko3d, and its shader tools translate Xenos shader containers through HLSL and SPIR-V. The build uses the user's supported disc and Title Update 2 or a supported Games on Demand install.
