Hitman 5 Server: reconstructing Absolution and Sniper Challenge services

Hitman 5 Server reconstructs the web services used by Hitman: Absolution and Hitman: Sniper Challenge, with C# endpoints and a configurable client hook. Its documentation traces client startup requests, metadata parsing and message templates; the author says much of the server currently responds with mocked data.
