Log Message:
syncscumm: add the Win32/MSVC build (create_project + vcpkg)

Windows has no gcc/configure, so the door builds through ScummVM's own
MSVC project generator rather than build.sh's configure+make. build.bat restores and drives devtools/create_project -- patched with a --synchronet option that emits our backends/platform/synchronet module in place of the
SDL platform backend -- then MSBuilds the generated solution against vcpkg, producing syncscumm.exe with the same curated engines and the JPEG-XL and Opus/Ogg audio tiers as the *nix build.

The door glue is ported to Windows behind door/sst_plat.{c,h} (winsock send/recv, the monotonic clock, sleep, over xpdev's sockwrap/genwrap/
dirwrap), mirroring the sibling termgfx doors; syncscumm.cpp selects the WindowsFilesystemFactory and blanket-allows forbidden symbols so the
Windows fs headers' <tchar.h> compiles.

Restored from the pinned tarball for this build (see PROVENANCE.md): devtools/create_project, dists/engine-data/engine_data*.mk, and backends/platform/sdl/win32/win32_wrapper.{h,cpp} (a Win32 Unicode helper
that core backend files pull in). backends/module.mk gates the
SDL-dependent win32 backend files on SDL_BACKEND, since the door defines
WIN32 without SDL.

Adds build.bat, msvc/Directory.Build.{props,targets} + vcpkg.json (local
vcpkg integration, x64-hosted compiler, LTCG/-Za disabled to dodge toolset ICEs, Console subsystem, syncscumm.exe output), COMPILING.md and README.md.

Modified Files:
src/doors/syncscumm/COMPILING.md README.md
Log Message:
syncscumm: make README BBS-agnostic; add Maniac Mansion install example

The README read as Synchronet-only. Reframe it around the fact that
SyncSCUMM is a standard DOOR32.SYS socket door (stdio also, on *nix) with
no Synchronet runtime dependency, so it runs under Mystic BBS or any
DOOR32.SYS BBS. Synchronet-only conveniences (the %-macro command line, install-xtrn.ini, SCFG menu names) are now labelled as such.

Add a full "Installing a game" worked example using Maniac Mansion (a commercial title, so the sysop supplies data files): general steps for
any DOOR32.SYS BBS, plus exact Synchronet SCFG field values (External
Programs -> Online Programs (Doors) -> section, I/O Method = Socket, BBS
Drop File Type = DOOR32.SYS, etc.).

Also correct the docs against the actual build:
- the produced binary is syncscumm, not scummvm (build.sh renames it),
in the intro and the "Produces build/..." line;
- COMPILING's "#ifdef _WIN32 only in the filesystem factory" claim was
understated -- syncscumm.cpp also has a Windows path-separator block;
- clarify jsexec/deploy.js are Synchronet-only, SBBSDATA is optional and
drives only diagnostics (no node-presence line), savepath has no
/saves subdir, and drop the redundant post-SCFG recycle step.

Modified Files:
src/doors/syncscumm/COMPILING.md
Log Message:
syncscumm: spell out the Linux build prerequisites in COMPILING.md

The Linux section hand-waved "ScummVM's usual dependency -dev packages"
and buried the fact that libmad is required in mid-paragraph prose, so a first-time builder had no copy-pasteable install line and no clear signal
that a missing MP3 library would fail the build. Give it a proper
Prerequisites subsection mirroring the Windows one:

- An apt-get line for Debian/Ubuntu (verified package names).
- A pacman line for Arch and other distros that don't split out -dev
packages -- the headers ship in the base library package, so there is
no separate libmad0-dev to find; the package is just "libmad".
- libmad called out as required, with the reason (talkie speech is MP3)
and the exact "fatal error: mad.h: No such file or directory" it
produces when absent, so the error is greppable straight to the fix.
- libjxl/libsndfile flagged optional-but-recommended (JXL + Opus tiers),
the rest noted as ScummVM's autodetected deps.

Prompted by Accession's report on IRC of the mad.h build failure on Arch,
where "libmad0-dev" sent him looking for a -dev package that his distro
doesn't ship.
