pc-4ddriving: a native port of 4D Driving

pc-4ddriving ports the FM Towns Marty game 4D Driving by recompiling its 386 program and TBIOS into C++ with fmtownskit. Its SDL3 runtime supports windowed and headless play, and the project compares frames, races and audio with MAME while documenting the disc layout and game resource formats.
