Convert VNDS games to be usable with Higurashi-Vita.

What the conversion does:

Converts all images to 32-bit PNGs, using ARGB bits. This ensures libvita2d can load them.
Organizes the folder to look like a Higurashi folder by moving assets into different folders.
Unzips ZIP files.
Creates an “isvnds” file to mark the folder as a VNDS game for Higurashi-Vita.
If your game has .aac audio, it detects and converts it with FFmpeg.

User guide

Make sure you have at least Higurashi Vita v2.4+.
Get a VNDS game.
If your game has AAC audio, install FFmpeg and ensure it’s in PATH or in the same directory as the converter.
Extract the VNDS game ZIP file. No need to extract sound.zip, background.zip, etc. yourself.
Run the program.
Choose the root of the VNDS game folder. Linux users will need to type in the path manually, while Windows users can use a GUI.
Wait for it.
The converted game will be in a new folder named "<original folder name>-converted".
Move the converted game folder to ux0:data/HIGURASHI/Games/.
