Tomba2Recomp: statically recompiling Tomba! 2

This statically recompiles Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return with psxrecomp. Windows and Linux previews accept the USA disc SCUS-94454 and the Italian PAL disc SCES-02686. Native code is prepared from all 22 original area files plus shared overlays before gameplay. Release builds include the MIT OpenBIOS from PCSX-Redux. Adaptive widescreen and 1080p internal rendering are on by default. SDL3 is the default host backend.
