Wii U Recovery Menu

A simple recovery menu running on the IOSU for unbricking, which can be booted using udpih.

ℹ️ Some Wii U's don't show any TV output, if it hasn't been configured properly before.
If that's the case download the recovery_menu_dc_init file and rename it to recovery_menu.
This build does display controller initialization and might fix the issue.
Note that this build only outputs 480p and has no GamePad output!

ℹ️ The recovery menu updates the power LED for debugging. The following patterns are used:
purple-off blinking: kernel code running
purple-orange blinking: menu thread running
purple: menu is ready and running
