miband11-watchface-maker: reconstructing the Smart Band 11 .face format

miband11-watchface-maker reconstructs the .face watch-face package format for Xiaomi Smart Band 11 by comparing inputs and outputs of the official compiler. Its format specification covers headers, metadata, indexes, embedded Lua and image data. Python, Java and JavaScript implementations assemble watch faces from media inputs.
