dasSDL3: Idiomatic SDL3 bindings for daslang

dasSDL3 is an AI-assisted translation of SDL abstract bindings for daslang. It allows using SDL functionality across multiple platforms, including DirectX, Metal, OpenGL, and Vulkan. The bindings are generated using dasClangBind, a subset of C++ parser that creates basic bindings. The next layer, sdl_boost, provides helpers and idiomatic syntax for a more natural coding experience.

Pipeline syntax in daslang simplifies function calls and makes code read in execution order. The library provides helpers for operations with different return types, such as window size or error messages. It also includes an explicit early return mechanism, sdl_try, to handle errors and check results more efficiently.
