OpenEnroth: reimplementing the Might and Magic VI–VIII engine

OpenEnroth reimplements the Might and Magic VI, VII, and VIII engine. Might and Magic VII is the playable game. It needs the ANIMS, DATA, MUSIC, and SOUNDS directories from that game. OPENENROTH_MM7_PATH selects the data directory. Windows, Linux, macOS, and an experimental Android build are listed. Source build steps are in HACKING.md.
