v0.1.0

MuPDF:

• Changed project to GPLv3 and replace old mupdf with upstream fork of 1.12.0.
• Note: Statically linking MuPDF has made binary significantly bigger.
• CMake will pull and build mupdf via git; due to size and number of submodules.

Rendering:

• Now rendering all documents handled by MuPDF; needs more user testing.
• BKMUDocument replacing old PSP BKPDF class (has too much PSP specific code)...
• Page traversal using Triangle and Square (Isn't this Un-Intuitive?); D-Pad panning only vertically for now.
• Page fits to width by default.
• Added more specific debug definitions for rendering, since they eat stdout like cookie monster eating cookies.
• Can pan using analog left stick, but it's hard to get it back to fit-to-width due to panning sensitivity.
• Banner shows page loading and page number on change; investigate animation smoothing.
• Add "DEBUG" flag only on the "Debug" cmake build type; Add accepted files to Logo.
• Fix for crash due to GPU memory leak: free-ing texture before drawing page.

Visual Studio & Desktop:

• Dependencies now auto fetched via cmake ExternalProject_Add.
• Shared libraries and binary output in same dir.
