Midnight Club: Los Angeles Recomp: an experimental Android ARM64 port

Midnight Club: Los Angeles Recomp adapts ReXGlue's static translation of the Xbox 360 game's PowerPC code into C++ for Android ARM64. The fork adds Android packaging, private game-data import, C++ integration and ReXGlue patches. The README reports that a user test reached car selection; development and testing centered on a Galaxy S23.
