Wind Waker Recomp 0.2.1

Windows fixes:

• Closing the game no longer shows an error. Since 0.1.0, closing the window showed "BlueWake
  stopped with an error (status 1)", which looked like a crash. The game had closed normally; it now
  just closes.
• Restart now no longer crashes. The button in the settings, for changes that need a restart (such as
  "Keep the picture's shape", the aspect ratio or Better Wind Waker), crashed the game instead of
  restarting it. It now closes the game normally and starts it again with the new settings.

The Mac app has neither problem, so this release includes the latest Mac build, 0.2.0, unchanged.

New since 0.1 on both Windows and Mac (from 0.2.0):

• Save states: F5 saves the whole running game, and F8 (Windows) or F9 (Mac) loads the latest. Both
  are also buttons in the settings.
• Climb any wall (off by default): Link climbs plain walls on a stamina wheel, as in Breath of the
  Wild.
• A faster graphics thread for slower CPUs.

See 0.2.0's notes for the details.

Downloads

• Windows (x64, Windows 10 or 11): WindWakerRecomp-0.2.1-windows-x64.zip. Unpack it and run
  BlueWake.exe; saves, settings and save states from 0.2.0 carry over. Built from windows-release
  at 97cf2c0 (RecompCore 8ab24da); WindWakerRecomp-0.2.1-windows-source.zip is that source.
• Mac (Apple Silicon, macOS 15 or later): WindWakerRecomp-0.2.0-macos-arm64.zip, the same build
  as in v0.2.0 (from main at b39bd0d).

Both need your own disc (GameCube USA, GZLE01 revision 0: .iso, .gcm or a compressed image such
as .rvz), which the app checks and prepares the first time. Windows also needs a Direct3D 12 GPU and a
CPU with AVX2. No game data is included.

Checked (Windows, i9-13900KF, RTX 5090)

• Closing the window (its X button, or Alt+F4), from fullscreen and with the settings open: the game
  closes normally, with no error.
• Restart now, after turning off "Keep the picture's shape": the game closed normally, and the new
  session started with the changed setting.
• Toggling fullscreen with F11 and Alt+Enter, six times each: no problem, before the fix or after.
• The download unpacked fresh:
  • The first launch prepared an .rvz.
  • The game played at 60 FPS (the game at 30) with Link moving.
  • A save state was saved and loaded.
  • Closing the window ended normally.
• The translated game is the same as in 0.2.0: the two game modules differ only in their link time stamp.
  The changes are all in the app, in how it closes and restarts.
