WHITE ALBUM2: a shared engine migration from static recompilation

The WHITE ALBUM2 port shares game logic between Windows x64 and Android ARM64 while migrating from a hybrid static recompilation to a native C++ compatibility engine. Current native components handle save flags, script behavior and resource processing; the delivered shared-aot build still uses recompiled functions. Original PAK files remain external.
