in a local sqlite. Along the way, we refactored arcade+db functionality into separate crates/compilation units to assist platform-specific feature development+conditional compilation.

Some help with layout and styling would be appreciated.

The problem is that sqlite (in C) uses stdio.h and we don't have that in the browser. turns out this isnt so easy since sqlite is all about synchronous IO which doesnt go so well in the browser, especially since we also need to compile audio stuff to JS. so ill conditionally compile out the db stuff and the current game metrics are all we get in the browser for now.

I also tried with wasm32-wasi and wasm32-emscripten targets.

I busted out some big guns for some large scale refactoring (IntelliJ can do things that neovim can only dream of). Copying and pasting is for poor people, with this many modules.

A crate thetawave_interface (we can change the name) that basically has "service APIs" that can be used across plugins. Any plugin can refer to these common typedefs. Are we regressing to .h files?
A crate thetawave_storage behind a feature flag storage with the sqlite stuff+db mutation plugin. The UI does conditional compilation for defaults if it doesn't have access to its client-side db.

We might as well also move the arcade module to a crate so that it can have its own modules and get more complex if needed.
