Sly 2: Bevy of Thieves — a partial Rust and Bevy port

Sly 2: Bevy of Thieves ports Sly 2: Band of Thieves logic function by function into Rust and Bevy, replacing PS2 hardware services with native systems. It reads levels and media from the user's disc image; the archived build loads early episode hubs but cannot be played start to finish.
