GFXFileManager: Silkroad Online file manager replacement

GFXFileManager implements a reverse-engineered replacement for Silkroad Online's Joymax File Manager interface. Its DLL loads game files directly from disk instead of the pk2 container and logs function calls. The implementation remains incomplete: file creation, deletion, directory handling and archive browsing are unavailable.
