Midtown Madness 3: static recompilation for PC

This statically recompiles Midtown Madness 3 for the original Xbox to a native executable with xboxrecomp. Windows x64 gameplay has been checked with Direct3D 12 or Vulkan, both through SDL3. Linux x64 has a build path. The builder does not support macOS. Check SHA in the Windows builder reports whether the disc matches a tested dump. The command-line program is mm3_recomp.exe.
