Star Fox Adventures: debug build decompilation

This is a work-in-progress decompilation of a debug build of Star Fox Adventures, version GSAP01, file default.dol. The README says that file is on Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc - July 2002 (USA) and is unused there. It was built for an internal debug environment, writes to addresses used for debug tracing, and expects an RGBA framebuffer at a fixed address. The README says the code will most likely not compile yet, and that the build does not boot on a console or an emulator.
