andy c36572f8dc Extract the track thumbnails and the ball sprite bank
- Track files: decode the selector thumbnails (a 640x64 16-colour
  picture, four sequential bitplanes, six 123x32 tiles in a 3x2 grid) into
  tracks/<name>/thumb.png, and show them in the menu at double height
  (they are Amiga hi-res)
- gfx/ball.spr: decode the 64-frame attached-sprite bank (spinning ball
  with the Acid logo) into gfx/ball.png; its colours are not in the file
- Command-line output no longer panics when piped into e.g. head

andy 9d82d99c15 Add the contents of disk 1
- LHA -lh5/-lh6/-lh7 decoding with CRC checks (disk 1 is mostly lh5)
- Real track palettes and set names, read from each track file's header
- Camaro, plus the caravan as a towable trailer (Caravans option)
- Drivers' names, menu pictures and the original .set values per car
- Original sound effects (IFF 8SVX) through a new sample mixer: engine
  pitched with revs, tyre screech, crashes, backfire, horn, start beeps
- The original tune (OctaMED MMD1) through a new player; loudness tracks
  OpenMPT's render through the whole song. Music option in the menu
- Title picture (IFF ILBM) at the top of the menu
- skids unpack and skids music commands
- Gate crossings now judged on each car's whole movement per frame,
  including collision knocks; stalled computer cars are put back on the
  line after 8 seconds

The executable's game logic (handling, AI) is still not decoded.
