A C library, tools/dat-cli/native, that reads the archives into the game's own types on any platform, from tables `melee-dat native codegen` writes from the DWARF. It's a port of the walk that converts as it goes, so `melee-dat native expect` and the library's trace must agree: they do for all 7048 archives on 64-bit and 32-bit little-endian and 32-bit big-endian (under qemu), and every converted object reads back against its data. The dat preset builds it with the host's compiler and runs its tests in ctest.
- the walk lays queued objects out as they were reached, so typedef tags
apply (the CPU attack lists' DAT_TERMINATED was ignored)
- CPU attack tables typed (ftCo_AttackList); stage param types moved into
their headers; stage param fields typed as their data
- 47 dat_symbols.txt aliases that read stage data as material animations
removed
- generated C casts only between different types; untyped data typed from
the fields that point to it
- `samples report --incomplete`, why units aren't complete
- a `native` dev shell with the DWARF/dat tools, qemu and a ppc32 cross
compiler; the default shell is what CI needs
- clang-tidy's checks stay on src/: tools/ and the generated tables opt out

* dat: native schema as descriptors per type, a file per header, enum type indices
`melee-dat native codegen` writes a directory instead of one tables.c:
each type is a named `dat_type_*` descriptor with its members, in
types/<header>.c for the header that declares it, along with what refers
to it (pointers, arrays); roots are in roots/<module>.c; DAT_TYPE_* and
DAT_NAME_* are enums. Descriptors use designated initializers, refer to
types by name and keep expressions next to their members, with the
annotation as written in a comment where it isn't plain.
- dat/schema.h: the schema's types and the macros descriptors are written
in; DAT_NONE is 0, so every field defaults to zero
- members, expressions, scripts, binds and roots are pointers, not ranges
of shared tables; macros expand to a depth when evaluated
- the schema is generated when configuring, again when its inputs change
- codegen split into generator.rs (the rows) and emit.rs (the C)
