openmx: porting the MX Unleashed simulation to Rust

openmx ports the PlayStation 2 game MX Unleashed's riding simulation to Rust and supplies new desktop and browser presentation. It reads tracks, vehicles, art and sound from the user's disc dump; the author reports comparing simulation functions, PCSX2 captures and frame-by-frame replay state hashes with the original.
