Mihawk 124099591c Run an SDL2/OpenGL frontend executable beside eboot.bin ...

EmulationStation is to be its own executable in the title, drawing with
../PS5_OpenGL (mihawk-99's fork of blackbearreloaded/ps5-opengl), whose Mesa
cannot share an image with RADV's. tools/build-frontend.sh builds a program in
frontends/ the way PS5_OpenGL builds its SDL2 consumers: its runtime shims,
heap and linker script over this project's base layout and C runtime, SDL2
from its bridge (built against this project's payload SDK from
ps5-payload-dev/SDL 8c56053), its OpenGL SDK and AGC import stubs, and a
256 MiB libc heap (the native tool's link takes --libc-heap-size; eboot.bin
keeps the largest). The result is es-de/<program>.bin, built by
tools/build-title.sh before the manifest for each program PS5_FRONTENDS names
(none by default). frontends/common supplies __memset_chk, which this host's
clang 23 builtins (emutls) call.

tools/deploy-title.py verifies a signed executable other than eboot.bin by its
stored bytes, on a connection with ftpsrv's SELF transfer mode off; it used to
compare the decoded download and upload twice. tools/run-title.sh's
--relaunch-image uses a built image at that path rather than a copy.

frontends/sdl-probe opens an SDL window with an OpenGL 3.3 core context,
shows red, green and blue for two seconds each, reads the centre back, counts
controller events, records /app0/es-de/sdl-probe.json and restarts eboot.bin
with the argument it was given.

Verified:
  TMPDIR=build/tmp bash tools/verify.sh -> PASS (format unit build
    integration evidence), default title unchanged
  PS5_FRONTENDS=sdl-probe tools/build-title.sh -> es-de/sdl-probe.bin
    (23,401,527 bytes) in the manifest, check-manifest PASS, build c1383963
  tools/run-title.sh --no-build --relaunch-test=1
    --relaunch-image=es-de/sdl-probe.bin --watch 45 on the base PS5: kernel
    log EXEC eboot.bin, es-de/sdl-probe.bin, eboot.bin; GL "4.6 (Core
    Profile) Mesa 26.2.0" on "PS5 AGC", 1920x1080, 121/120/120 frames in two
    seconds each with every centre pixel right, a joystick and a button
    press; relaunch PASS; the owner saw red, green, blue, then RetroArch
  deploy of the probe alone after the fix: one upload, verified as stored
Evidence: evidence/sdl-probe/ (python3 tools/evidence.py compare)
