Duke Nukem Zero Hour: decompiling the Nintendo 64 game

This decompiles Duke Nukem: Zero Hour for the Nintendo 64. The US ROM is named baserom.us.z64. make setup extracts it, and make builds build/us/dukenukemzerohour.z64. The French ROM is baserom.fr.z64 and uses VERSION=fr. The README instructions use Ubuntu 22.04 or WSL2, a MIPS GNU toolchain, Python 3.9 or newer, and splat64. A Docker image dukenukemzerohour contains the same dependencies.
