SSX 3: statically recompiling the PS2 game to Rust

This is a native Rust port of SSX 3 for PlayStation 2, USA SLUS_207.72. The game code was statically recompiled to Rust and is being replaced function by function. Rendering, movies, sound, files, controllers, and the memory card are native. The README says every race, freestyle event, and Conquer the Mountain are playable, on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with an experimental browser build.
