SMT2 PSX English Translation v0.1.6

This release adds a modern Demon Compendium while retaining an explicit
original-gameplay build, and fixes presentation and text issues present in
0.1.5.

Added

• Added a Demon Compendium to the Cathedral of Shadows. It automatically
  records recruited demons and completed fusion results, imports demons held
  by existing saves, provides race/name/level/alignment sorting, displays each
  demon's Macca cost, and summons fixed default-stat forms subject to the
  protagonist's level, roster space, and duplicate restrictions. Registration
  persists through the original save payload without changing its format.
• Added four release profiles covering English or Japanese movies with either
  the default enhancements or original gameplay mechanics.

Changed

• Enabled gameplay enhancements by default and added --no-enhancements as a
  general opt-out for purist builds and future modern features.
• Clarified Cathedral fusion warnings that compare the resulting demon's
  alignment with the player's alignment.
• Expanded the translation-spacing audit to cover adjacent runtime names and
  dialogue that continues across separately stored message records.

Fixed

• Restored the equipment-shop header's original name inset so the status icon
  no longer overwrites the first letter of the selected human's name.
• Made generated movie files inherit the build directory's permissions on
  Windows, allowing subsequent builds to read and replace them reliably.
• Prevented the widened demon-negotiation response texture from wrapping at
  the PSX texture-page boundary and showing stale player-name fragments.
• Inset the negotiation response panel's right and bottom endpoints so their
  complete beveled edges remain visible against the full-screen frame.
• Kept both the COMP demon-dismissal confirmation and the returning "Who
  leaves?" prompt at their original one-line height after choosing NO.
• Lowered the dialogue apostrophe by one pixel so it no longer collides with
  descenders on the preceding line.
• Restored missing spaces at every cross-record dialogue join identified by
  the expanded audit, including repeated words and dynamic race/demon names.
• Corrected the casual thank-you shown when leaving the Valhalla bar.
