Resolves #55.
We want to enable the use of game assets in ImGui flows. The only permissible way to do so is to load them at runtime, as they must not be shipped with mods. For this to work, the Phyre engine must be called to pry open its custom asset containers.
Phyre types are generally self-describing. That is to say, Phyre classes have 'class descriptors', which contain information about the type such as its name and layout. By inspecting these class descriptors, we can somewhat operate generically over Phyre types.
Where names for classes and/or fields are given, they are sourced from RTTI metadata available in the executables themselves.
