0.5.0-alpha.2

Update 0.5.0-alpha.2 Changelog:

• Overhauled logging system to work with Android debuggers and Android Studio Logcat.
• Implemented a functional JNI Wrapper which loads OrionSort through an SDLActivity kotlin launcher.
• Edited build.yml to create android specific artifacts.
• Introduced partial caching of build system files in Github Actions to decrease compile-time.
• Android port mostly functions correct with some issues:
  • App seems to crash when clicking the cross button on the ImGui window.
  • Dragging the ImGui window has atrocious latency.
  • Text and ImGui window rendering does not seem to follow DPI scaling and appears very small.
  • Part of the sort-array seems to appear off screen on rounded displays.
  • The SDL window does not auto-rotate and will permanently stay stuck on the orientation the app originally started in. This can only be fixed currently by restarting the app in a different orientation.
  • OpenAL-Soft audio does not seem to work at all
