OpenCE PS4: porting Halo: Combat Evolved to PlayStation 4

OpenCE PS4 ports OpenCE's reconstructed Halo: Combat Evolved code to a jailbroken PlayStation 4. It builds the game as x32 code inside a PS4 host, maps platform services and DualShock 4 input, and routes OpenGL ES rendering through Mesa Zink and RADV; game maps come from the user's own Xbox copy.
