Ultra-widescreen

Add ultrawide support. Credit to steam user chiccy, Lyall for their mod and Otis_inf for Unreal Engine Unlocker.

Notes

All the fixes break taking photos with Max's camera. This doesn't affect progression but your journal will have some funky pictures in them.

The HUD will still be locked to 16:9 area.

In cutscenes you may see models load in/out abnormally or T pose.
