Dante's Inferno PC Port — v0.7.0-beta

This is a beta prerelease. It requires an original Xbox 360 ISO to extract game data during install.

Highlights

• In-process Vulkan renderer: dantes_inferno_native.exe runs the Xenos backend inside the process. No rexgpu-xenos.dll plugin, no cross-API interop hop; the same Vulkan swapchain draws and presents.
• Native render scaling: native_render_scale cvar with auto (derives from display height) and fixed 1–3× options. Host render targets and EDRAM-with-FSI paths both work on the native Vulkan backend.
• Persistent SPIR-V shader cache: .vkspv on-disk cache keyed by (guest ucode hash, modification, translator fingerprint). Second-run loads skip all ucode→SPIR-V translation, removing shader-translation stutter.
• FidelityFX post-processing: CAS sharpening and FSR 1 (EASU/RCAS) effects are now compiled into the renderer and selectable via --present_effect.
• Launcher now exposes all of the above: renderer selection, resolution/auto scale, render accuracy (host RT / FSI), post-processing (Bilinear / CAS / FSR), VSync, fullscreen, FPS overlay, dither, and SDL controller backend. All map to the correct game cvars.
• DLC auto-install hook: the runtime scans the dlc/ folder and installs STFS packages on boot.

Full change list since 1cf4bad

• Add DanteGraphicsSystem — IGraphicsSystem injection seam behind --renderer cvar (xenos, native, wrapped)
• Add in-process Vulkan Xenos backend behind --renderer=native
• Keep VulkanPresenter as the sole presenter for the native path
• Add native_render_scale cvar with auto display-height scaling
• Add persistent SPIR-V shader translation cache (.vkspv)
• Fix .vkspv cache binding pointer bug that caused black rendering on cache-hit runs
• Enable AMD FidelityFX SDK build and wire CAS/FSR present effects into the launcher
• Update DLC auto-install hook status to completed
• Fix ffx_api_dll.rc UTF-16 encoding for the llvm-rc resource compiler
• Bundle amd_fidelityfx_dx12.dll / amd_fidelityfx_vk.dll in the installer
• Point launcher/installer update URLs to florinp93/hells-gate-recomp
