Another ssimulacra2 cli

A fork of ssimulacra2_bin that I could not stop adding things to. whoops

If you want full ffmpeg based video support check out their version. My version is based on folders of images and full windows compatability.

Memory usage

On my 5600x when comparing two folders of 1440p PNG files it can use 3-4GB of ram since it basically has 12 pairs of raw 1440p images in memory.

make sure to lower the threads used with --threads if you run out of memory.
