Essential improvements

Data.rsdk
file extracted from the mobile version's APK to run, however, the former is recommended for better compatibility with unofficial fixes and mods.
- Allows the game to be displayed with nearest-neighbor and pixel-perfect scaling, remappable keyboard and controller mapping editing via its settings.ini, native modding support, and full support of the updated scripts from the mobile version, allowing for features the official PC version never received.
