Killzone: Liberation — Windows static recompilation

This Windows static recompilation of Killzone: Liberation targets the US v1.20 image UCUS-98646. That image is 568,498,176 bytes, SHA-1 5bc4fc8cd8d72c9c2e7c1c03a4325a29bed6e69a. The Redump retail USA disc is a different image: 581,632,000 bytes, SHA-1 dda1a72c28ccdd8ddd2f3cbfd2fa3188962b0458. extract.py checks the image, gen.py writes the translated C, and cmake --preset clang-cl builds kzl_driver. The boot path rechecks the ISO size and SHA-1.
