Kabus22 Linux: a native reconstruction of the Kabus 22 engine

Kabus22 Linux reimplements the 3D GameStudio A6 and A7 engine behavior used by Kabus 22 in C++20. Its native runtime reads the user's original WDL scripts and assets, with OpenGL and optional Vulkan rendering, and the repository documents executable analysis and asset formats.
