Ogre Battle 64: a native port through N64 static recompilation

The Ogre Battle 64 port statically recompiles the USA Rev A N64 game into a native PC executable with N64Recomp. Its build pipeline splits and links ROM code, recompiles the main program and bank units, and processes RSP microcode; a separate browser build uses WebGL2.
